Cravings?

cravings?

So I'm still getting used to taking medicine daily and sometimes I forget. I know I'm in medically induced remission but sometimes my crohns acts up. Anyway I noticed that if I forget a dose by the second day (I get stuck in cycles of forget one day...forget the next day too) around 3pm I start getting cravings really bad. It's for things like dill pickles, salads with really tangy dressing, pizza lunchables, chinese food or starbursts(sometimes peaunt m&ms or ice cream or milkshakes). It's intense cavings too. I also notice I start feeling like I'm incredibly hungry, in fact I feel like I'm starving like I haven't eaten in days. Does anyone else feel like this or get cravings? I'm curious

If I let myself go too long without eating I get really hungry and then I start craving things I shouldn't eat.

I have a really bad craving for a drink called Irn Bru. I literally go to the shop everyday to get some, I just cant fight it off! and i also have a weird thing for cheese and pickled onions.

I've been craving McDonald's french fries lately. I love eating them with tartar sauce - that sounds gross, but it's soooo yummy. I know it's horrible for me, and my stomach doesn't like all that grease, and they're not even very good - but for some odd reason there are times when I just absolutely must have them. I think it's the sodium, I tend to have low sodium and my body often craves it. Usually it's in the form of potato chips but lately it's fries!

I *LOVE* McDonald's fries with a ton of mayo. Tartar sauce is my backup plan if I don't have mayo. YUM!!!!

I've been craving salt for the last couple of months. I normally don't go for salty stuff unless flaring, so it seems.

I was going to say, you must really like salt if you love McDonalds fries lol. Too much salt for me.

Lately I've been having unnatural cravings for chocolate ice cream. The second I'm out I have to go get more.
