Certain bacteria in your stomach may also be the reason behind food cravings

Different hormones that your body produces have an impact on your hunger. Among them are ghrelin and leptin. It is known that a variety of gut bacteria can impact how much of these hormones are produced and whether they serve as a signal for hunger or fullness.

Our digestive hormones are generally controlled and regulated by the makeup of our bacteria, which also signals whether we are hungry or full. You are less likely to have cravings when you are feeling satiated.
