Does anybody have Pica

Question

Does anybody have pica or like to eat cornstarch or baby powder etc etc?  ... i like to eat baby powder n i know it’s common it’s everywhere on YouTube .

Answer

While I was pregnant I LOVED the smell of our powdered laundry detergent. I got a super strong urge to eat it! Such a strange feeling and only while pregnant.

Answer

I did. First pregnancy was paint and ice. This time was bleach but I got better.

Answer

I do - it’s with ice and weirdly, sponges. The ice was is probably due to anaemia however, the sponges one is weird. I just like chewing it, I don’t swallow nor ingest it, but I like chewing it.

Answer

I'm not saying pica isnt "normal" in the sense that people can get it and it can either be a symptom of something greater, or it is something mental, but rather that it isn't  "normal" to want to eat things like that. It is actually considered an eating disorder.
I chew napkins and paper. My father's habit. I do not crave to eat it. I dont want to eat it. I just chew on it because I want to chew without tasting. Sometimes I swallow and I reason to myself it is fiber.
However... you might want to stop or try to find a new oral fixation

You may possibly want to try talking to a therapist. Maybe they can help you pinpoint triggers that cause you to eat in this way.
