Sweet cravings

[Bigkate54]

I think my chocolate cravings might be related to the medication. I take setraline gabapentin and palexia for pain. I also have a lot of gas so don't know what to eat can anyone through any light on it pleas?

Hi,

I've no idea if your meds cause this, but is it the sugar or fat you're craving? If so, try a healthier swap, or take a chelated magnesium supplement, to see if that helps.

I eat one or two pieces of >70% cocoa chocolate most days, for nutrients & because it's a treat. I have fresh & dried fruit, & a jar of nuts on my kitchen table, next to my good chocolate, so it's always the easiest option to have something healthy.
