Do I have Pica?

Question

I CRAVE baking soda and ammonia. I love the initial taste of baking soda and the texture but then when it gets salty I spit it out. I also LOVE the smell of lemon ammonia. I have to sniff the bottle everyday. I’m gonna y’all to my doctor on Friday about it. Can anyone else relate? Does this sound like Pica?

Answer

Yes it does sound like Pica. Please call your dr asap. Sniffing ammonia is not good for you!

Answer

Yes, that sounds like pica. I crave Ice all day long !!

Answer

Yep. Please don’t smell the ammonia. Baking soda can cause constipation fyi

Answer

I have pica and am getting my blood tested tomorrow.  I crave sand, dirt, and dust.  I know how hard it is but do not let yourself give in to the ammonia one!

Answer

It sounds like you’re malnourished. Craving weird items in pregnancy means you’re missing something.
