How do food addictions and allergies work?
professionalkiwi asked:
I read that food allergies can become addictions because our bodies craves the food we are allergic to (some, not all obviously) and can lead to the addiction of that food. This is counter intuitive on so many levels lol So maybe I understood incorrectly.
Can someone explain the link between food allergy and addiction? Is this pseudoscience or real? How does it work?
Serious answers only.

I don’t see how that’s possible. Sure you can “Crave it”, but you can’t “Eat” It, or if you are like me, your throat, tongue, and roof of your mouth will swell up, and who the heck wants that??! Sure I miss Donuts, Bagels, Pizza and Chinese Food, and all the other things normal people eat, but I won’t go out of my way to eat them, and feel miserable! That’s a silly way to think.
