Food sensitivity

“Often an intolerance to certain foods can trigger cravings,” says Penny Davenport, a nutritionist at the Higher Nature Clinic in Sussex, England. “As well as causing allergic reactions such as rashes, headaches, sore joints, puffiness and bloating, certain foods can have an adverse effect on the chemicals in the brain, which can induce cravings. The worst offenders tend to be wheat and dairy products, but almost any food can be the cause.” To determine which foods you are intolerant of, you will need to consult a nutritionist who will suggest different tests you can do. For instance, a standard test is the Immuno Test, which can test up to 102 foods. Other methods include alternative techniques such as Vega testing and kinesiology. Eliminating ‘Culprit’ foods from your diet will make the cravings go away.
