Increase in sweet cravings

[Guest guest]

I am tapering of the Prednisone and , knock on wood if improvement

continues I hopefully will be off come the end of the week. I noticed

a strong sweet craving initially when starting the diet five months

ago - the craving was so strong I remember just having bowl of honey

on my desk and dipping into every ten minutes or so throughout the

day. I figured that it was me going through a sugar withdrawal and

within about two weeks it went away. Almost at six months on SCD and

had a recent flare that I have been trying to manage since Dec. This

sweet craving has been getting more intense over the last week and a

half and it is rather strong at present. No yeast issues at this time

so I don't think that is the culprit. Does anyone else have their two

cents worth on what might be going on here? Is this a common side

effect while being on the diet, having a flare or die off? I gave

into the craving because it does not seem to make my situation worse

that I know of - still getting better, but a cup of honey in the

marshmello frosting that I have eaten all of in the last 12 hours I

think is a bit extreme. Since I know I need to manage things in

moderation I will not be making anymore and am just going to tough out

the cravings.
