It’s usually a symptom of a severe iron or vitamin deficiency I’d tell her to get medical advice

It’s called pica - linked to iron deficiency. Definitely stay away from it and speak to your ob asap

It might be a vit def. I had a strong urge to eat gain powder detergent because it smelled so good. Of coarse I didn’t though.

I don't understand the last part of this message but if your friend is craving powder there is a medical reasons for that I don't remember the name but it happens to some women while pregnant. You have to call the ob and tell them bc for what I remember it's bc ur lacking something like vitamins or something like that that makes u this way . So let her know it can be fixed. And definitely don't eat non eatable items
