Answers:
Possible causes include
- crystal meth use (if she has lost a lot of weight, become erratic, stopped sleeping, etc).
- bulimia (if she has lost a lot of weight suddenly, eats a lot of food at one time and then quickly runs to the bathroom)
- decrease in salivary production
The decrease in calcium while pregnant IS possible, though it's not likely.
She should see a dentist asap to make sure that her teeth don't become infected.
