The last couple of days I have been ravenous!

Is this familiar with anyone else?

I get like that but it's.................the bugs are hungry aren't they? And our diet is so so limited....... Smile I'm starving, having some beef broth homemade veg soup as I sit here. I eat small bowels here and there all day lol. I mean. Wow, so filling isn't it.
First year Mar 2012-2013 on 6 plant abx only.Second year had to add pharma abx in conjunction.Physical brain/head/eye symptomatic too severe and excrutiating "just coping with the physicality feeling infection in cns thru brain, and brain overprocessing with no sleep daily" rendering me non functional since Oct 2010. Can't read a book, follow programs properly, stutter talking due to the "physical feeling and interference in head." Stuttering less with more coming down since pharma abx added.

It's slowly helping. I dry sauna every other day/colonics daily.Very strict diet.

I get like that, I graze all day long. But then my LLMD said my sugars were dropping through out the day and he put me on a whey protein shake 2x a day and that has helped.

I crave sweets and carbs. Both. I never ate junk food being in fitness. And never craved it.

I want chips, mcdonalds, brownies with double icing, pie, grilled cheese, cupcakes, choc bars, deep fried kentucky fried chicken, I want junk food darnit. Peanut butter cookies or white choc and macadamia nut the soft kind. Starbucks with vanilla syrup and caramel with extra creme. I could eat a batch of stuffing and garlic cheese bread alone lol.

What do you crave?

I have whey shakes but can only have the stevia ones as bugs like sucralose and that is in most of them. I put alkaline berries, only a few, in them. Every other day.........this sucks...........I'm always complaing about food. I never had these cravings, till lymes though. Good grief!!!

I crave different things different days - like yesterday it was sugar. Today I have been craving meat type products - maybe I need protein?

I like the shake idea - what brands do you like?

Click on ingredients if it' doesn't come up on that. 8grams of sugar.

I eat alot of protein though it's acid but it helps to fill me up.

Most days I can barely eat at all, I feel nauseous and swallowing food is so difficult. I have zero appetite. I am lucky to manage a snack and a small meal.

Other days, for no reason, I can eat and eat and eat... Huge salads, hamburgers, hot dogs, pasta, bread, sandwiches, etc. "Real food", not junk food. It's scary and there's no telling when the food cravings come on. It seems to happen every 7-10 days and lasts for 1-2 days.
