What Causes Cravings For Onions And Tomato?
I HAVE BEEN CRAVING ONIONS AND ALSO ANYTHING TOMATO BASED. IT HAS GOTTEN SO BAD THAT LAST NIGHT I CUT UP A HUGE ONION AND SAUTED IT WITH A LITTLE OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC. I AT THE WHOLE THING AND DID IT AGAIN TODAY. SHOULD I BE WORRIED? IS MY BODY LACKING SOMETHING?

Hi,
It isn't much to be worried about. Sometimes taste buds modify to develop the taste for certain flavors. However, for reassurance serum electrolytes, sugar levels and cortisol levels may be needed if symptoms persist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thank you.
