Comments on: What Are The Side-Affects Of Pica? http://www.iibc.com/sideaffects-pica/ (International Information on Beauty Care) Thu, 29 Jul 2010 07:46:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Janice http://www.iibc.com/sideaffects-pica/comment-page-1/#comment-6723 Janice Sat, 24 Jul 2010 02:30:34 +0000 http://www.iibc.com/?p=502#comment-6723 My six year old has been eating things since she was little.  She chews her nails and cuticles, she peals paint of the walls, eats paper, and fuzz balls off the floor.  The doctor tested her iron levels and they were fine.  Said it was maybe a stage.  My husband and I are always worried that she will eat something that will make her very ill.  We continuously remind her not to put things in her mouth and have to watch her constantly to make sure she doesn't.  When we catch her, she doesn't even seem to realize that she is doing it, or else she has become ashamed of it and just denies it.  I am worried and so is my husband.  As a child I suffered from anxiety and OCD, I think that she may be duing this as a result of something similiar.  I just don't know how to get her the help she needs.

 Working with your medical professional to get to the root of the illness is important. If you dont feel the doctor which you have been visiting in the past is good enough, look for someone better but medical intervention is essential for analyzing the cause and getting rid of it permanently.

When I was pregnant with the twins my mom found out and made fun of me for it. I only have 16 days left of this pregnancy and if I'm still craving morter I will tell someone. I'm hoping it will go away. No I haven’t told my gyno cause I’m kinda scared to. When I was pregnant with the twins my mom found out and made fun of me for it.

Sat, 06 Feb 2010 02:36:50 +0000 http://www.iibc.com/?p=502#comment-6395 i have been eating paper for 8 years now. it started when i was little and my brother and i both used to do it. he grew out of it, but i didnt. Now i am 18. My family knew about my habit, but i dont think that they know i still do it. I have never told anyone about my habit. It has given me constipation on a few occasions over the past 8 years, but now i can control my BM and stay regular. I have recently been diagnosed with anemia. now i am almost certain that is related to my pica (undiagnosed). i am worried that i may have mercury poisoning from the paper though. I experience some numbness and tingling in my feet and fingers recently. I cant confide in my doctor as he is not very easy to talk to, but im going to see a haematologist (blood specialist or whatever the correct name is) and would rather confide in them.

During my first pregnancy, with twin boys, I would suck and gnaw on pieces I had chipped away from the fire place. After I gave birth, the cravings stopped. I thought it was due to a lack of vitamins with the twins. But now I'm pregnant for the second time and the craving has started again. I can deter the craving by eating a lot of ice. I'm just worried that it will affect me in the long run. I’m 26 weeks pregnant with my third child and I crave mortar.
