A member asked:
Help please? what is the medical term for someone who craves salt & sweet things all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Addison's disease: Depending upon degree of salt craving, you might ask your doctor to evaluate you for Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) or even Bartter syndrome: check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/addisons-disease/expert-answers/salt-craving/faq-20057988. Hypoglycemia or low blood sugar may lead to craving sweet things. Regardless, you should see your FamilyDoc for complete evaluation.
