Craving Sweets middle of the night

Anybody have any issues like that.  I'm being treated for Lyme just over three years, mis-diagnosed for two years.

I know it sounds strange but it is almost uncontrollable.

Last night I ate half a pound of raisins just so I could go back to sleep.

Taking Biaxxin, plaquenil, spectracef, celebrex, neurontin, metanx, milk thistle,Welchol and other vitamins and nutrients. I take restoril to help me sleep. I know Lyme makes us crave carbs but this is a recent development.

I have a friend who does this. She wakes up nightly to eat sweets. She does not have any illness but she does have depression.

When the serotonin drops, the bodies natural response is to crave anything to up the serotonin. Sugar boosts serotonin.

B vitamin deficiency also can cause sugar cravings.

Something else to be aware of is that many B vitamins are derived from and/or contain a form of yeast. If mold/candida is an issue for you, then it would be good to get a yeast-free version of B vitamins.

Also, you may need other B vitamins besides what is contained in the Metanx (which contains only Folic Acid, B6, and B12). There are also B1 (Thiamine), B2 (Riboflavin), B3 (Niacin), B5 (Pantothenic Acid), Biotin, and possibly other supplements that are also required for optimum health. Blood sugar levels may also be unstable without supplementing Chromium. Alpha Lipoic Acid can also help stabilize blood sugar. A stable blood sugar level can reduce/prevent sugar cravings.

yup ambien does this to me as well. same as you sick of lyme!!

are you craving carby type stuff or chocolate? My friend and I both did same Gucci stool test and I came out high candida and she came low. I thought for sure she had yeast because her stomach blows up a lot and she always would eat iceream in middle of night on way back fro bathroom. I had candida and parasites ..she had NONE but she did come up Pancreatic insuffiency. I still don't know what that means? and chcolate craving I was told is magnesium deieiency
