I believe you may be pregnant, Grace. Have you done anything that might get you pregnant lately?

Actually, if you haven't heard by now, those cravings are a sign of iron definciency. I am too addicted to ice chewing, and have been told this by my doctor. It's called a "pica" there's a lot of medical info about it on various medical websites

I have read several of the posts now. Just type in "Pica" on the internet and I can get information.

What is Pica?

Pica is a craving for non-nutritive substances like paper, dirt, and my favorite, ice.

It's often caused by anemia. I'm pretty sure my love for ice is.

I've been anemic for 11 years now due to an intestinal disease though my crave for ice has only surfaced more recently - actually since my anemia has been better. I went through a stressful time and started chewing ice.....don't know if that has anything to do with it but I continue to chew ice all the time.

I've studied up on "pica" as well....interesting.

I guess everyone has some sort of habit.....
