There is a real problem when someone has a candida overun in their intestinal track. You crave sugar because it feeds the candida, then It can manufacture as much as 1 quart of alcohol in a day. The withdrawal from the sugar is really the candida slowing down the alcohol, and not producing as much as before. Long term antibiotic usage or a recent use of any strong antibiotic can kill all the healthy bacteria that usually balances out the candida problem. It can survive antibiotics because it is so large and prolific. It is always in our bodies, but it could be out of balance.
I had a Dr prescribe probiotics that were enteric coated, so that they open into your small intestine.
If you have an energy drop about an hour after eating sugar it could be from the alcohol that is produced by these little buggers.
This is just a thought, as it does cause you to crave sugar. I hope you can find out why you are craving sugar so much. Good luck.
