Sounds like you need to look into a supplement to curb a candida overgrowth. It will make you CRAVE alcohol. I started craving it last year AND I DON'T DRINK!!! Don't have a taste for it at all any more. Just battle the sweet tooth late afternoon (especially if I'm stressed)(that 4-6p munchie monster WB mentioned from her leptin book many pages back in her journal-another hormone thing). I've read L-glutamine has been used theraputically up to 40 g a day without incident. But for carb cravings, try 5 g 1 hour before you eat or 2 hours after, 2 or 3 times a day. You might also want to try liquid grapefruit seed extract. Start with 5 drops in some juice before bed and work up to 15. I do 15 drops 2x a day. Don't start with that much. If it's candida, you'll have a horrible die off. It's strong.
