Can this do me harm?!


Question:

Can this do me harm?

I have a strange addiction to ice. It has been only about 1 year but I have to eat about 6 cubes 3 times a day. Does any body else have this?


Answers:

Craving ice chewing can be a sign of being iron deficient. It is called "phagophasia". Take a mult-vite with iron if your diet isn't so great.

It can also be a sign of emotional problems.

Does that mean either of these are your problem? No. It could, but it doesn't mean it does.

It wouldn't hurt to have a physical with your doctor just to be sure.
