ah i forget the name of that where you eat things that are non edible . but yeah that is definately a problem, i would go to your dr and get checked out. Some pregnant women get that and crave weird things like dirt and such , can also mean your anemic. definately have a talk with your dr about that. that could have serious health affects. im not sure what kind but im sure some are involved.

It sounds like pica, I think that's the name of the disorder. You start craving weird stuff like dirt or chalk because your body is lacking nutrients. You should definitely see your doctor about it and get some blood tests run.

PICA

I have the same disorder and have had it since I was 5. I eat chalk, dry wall, baby powder, and pumice stones. I need to get help as well. Baby Powder causes cancer, tumors, and messes up our filter systems. It's more serious then u think. Ur 18 and younger so get it fixed now. I'm 21 and just can't stop.

EATING BABY POWDER
Posted: 08-07-08 16:29pm

I AM 24 I CAN NOT STOP EATING BABY POWDER. I LOVE IT, IT IS SAD BUT SO GOOD. WHAT IS REALLY freaky IS THAT I AM anemic TOO. AND I CRAVE THIS I HAVE NOT WENT TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE I NEED IT TO LEAVE. I CRAVE THE SMELL AND TASTE, I WISH I COULD FILL UP A BATH TUB WITH NOTHING BUT BABY POWDER AND JUST SWIM IN IT ALL DAY OR HAVE A BABY POWDER FIGHT WITH NOTHING BUT BABY POWDER IN THE AIR SO THICK YOU CAN NOT EVEN SEE EACH OTHER. I REALLY NEED HELP I THINK I AM OBSESSED WITH IT.

PLEASE IF YOU HAVE inforamiton ANY OUT THERE THAT COULD HELP US PLEASE SHARE.

P.S. DO YOU THINK JOHNSON&JOHNSON COULD MAKE A EAT--ABLE SUBSTANCE THAT WE COULD USE FOR OUR ADDICTION.

I have been eating baby powder for as long as I can remember. I always thought it was weird but I couldn't help but to eat it. It is really really good. And when I don't eat it, it's like i drag, or I can't function or something. I carry a bottle in my purse, one in my glove compartment, 2 in my desk drawers @ wrk. The huge bottles at that. I just can't stop. I don't even want to mention how many I have in my house. I don't know how to stop. I ate the chalk for a very long time then started on the powder. The only time I can remember stopping was when I was pregnant with my son. 9 1/2 Long months I waited. Then received like 20 bottles for my son at my babyshower.

It's always around me and sooooo good to me.

What can happen to my body being that I have been eating it for so long?
