A member asked:

I'm pretty sure i'm allergic to avocado, but i don't care because i love eating it. would my body crave something i'm allergic to?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Doubt it.: Craving has nothing to do with it. In fact, I have patients who totally disliked certain foods (without suspecting any allergic reaction) which turned out to be allergens for them.
