Dr. Jalal Zuberi answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Tomatophagia: You may have a condition some authors describe as tomatophagia or excessive craving for tomatoes, sometimes seen when iron levels are down. You can get your hemoglobin and iron levels ( two different tests) checked and get supplemental iron if needed.
