when I had a severely low ferritin level, zero to be exact. I had IV iron treatments and since then, my cravings for carbs have virtually disappeared. Don't get me wrong, I still love chips, potatos, pasta, etc., but I dont *crave* them like I used to. Perhaps you should have iron studies done...just a thought! I know how very frustrating those cravings can be...and I've lost about 20 lbs since the cravings went away...good luck!
