Carbohydrate intolerance and carb cravings

Carbohydrate intolerance and carb cravings

I have issues digesting carbohydrates (both simple and complex). They make me VERY bloated, and slightly gassy (but mostly bloated), and I feel fatigued most of the time after eating them.
At the same time I absolutely CRAVE carbs...(example: last night, after I ate dinner, I ate 2 bowls of cereal- gah!).

Is there a condition/syndrome, etc that this points to, or do I just need to use discipline and avoid carbs?

More info: I am female, late 30s, and was diagnosed with SIBO (bacterial overgrowth) last year and was on antibiotics twice for it, followed by probiotics. I may or may not have IBS-D (no official diagnosis from doctor, although some symptoms are in line with that).
