Sudden cramps as soon as I taste sugar

Around my period, I can't bear to eat anything sweet because sometimes as soon as I taste the sugar, I get intense vaginal cramps. It's crazy because it's not even like I've digested the candy or icecream or fruit yet. As soon as the sweet hits my tongue, it triggers the cramps.

I've never really had cramps before I got the IUD in March so this is relatively new. Now I'm trying to figure out if it is a specific type of sugar (like sucrose vs fructose) OR if it is just when I taste sweetness. But this experiment means more cramping 😖

Does anyone else have something like this?
