Question

I have a craving for chocolate i hate sweets but I am qddicted to chocolate and if i don't have it i get stomach pains. What could this be?

Answer 1

Depressive symptoms?: Do you have depressive symptoms ? Chocolate craving can sometimes go hand in hand with low serotonin levels.

Answer 2

Agree: Parasitic infections occur more commonly in 3rd world countries where financial resources and conditions are less than optimal in dealing with these conditions.

Answer 3

Hygiene, sanitation: Actually, most parastic diseases are easy to control. That's why the most important ones are now very rare in the US and most industrialized countries, i.e. no more hookworm or trichinosis, tape worm and malaria very rare, toxoplasmosis uncommon, and so on. Where parasitic infestations are common, e.g. developing countries, it's related to sanitation, environmental prevention, animal management.

Answer 4

Chemical way.: Anti epileptics work at molecular level by controlling ionic channel gate in cell membrane like na, k, ca, nmda. Etc thereby altering excitability of cell membrane. It is a very advanced detailed science.

Answer 5

Good question: They just do - sometimes. We can sound erudite with eloquent explanations. But no one really knows. Many years ago one lab had huge success with many agents as long as they were suspended in a certain solvent. It turned out the solvent was valproic acid. When they realized it was the actual active agent, it was refined and marketed as depakote.

Answer 6

I would not: Galantamine (galantamine (galantamine hydrobromide) hydrobromide) increases cholinergic activity in the brain, which can cause more dreams. Like any medicine, galantamine (galantamine hydrobromide) can have side effects. I would not recommend taking it to cause more vivid dreams.

Answer 7

Not likely: Not in low dosage of several milligrams used for this purpose.

Answer 8

Seizures and diet: Yes it is possible to change some seizures with diet. For many years some patients have been treated with what is called a keto=genic diet, which has controlled their seizures. Talk to your doctor to see if you are a candidate for this diet and if so ask for a referral.

Answer 9

Good health habits: Seizures may result from bad health habits. Poor sleep, poor nutrition, and inappropriate use of alcohol and drugs will cause seizures. Good health habits will help control seizures. Appropriate evaluation of the cause for seizures is first, then the appropriate seizure medication, and then good health habits. Your doctor can give you advise about appropriate diet and supplements.

Answer 10

Rare: Nephropathic cystinosis is an inherited (autosomal recessive) lysosomal storage disorder caused by defective transport of the Amino Acid cystine out of lysosomes. The stored cystine is poorly soluble and crystallizes within the lysosomes of many cell types, leading to widespread tissue and organ damage. Go part 2.
