Since 7years or a bit more,i developed a rather strange addiction-I EAT ICE.
In the early stage i could kind of stopmyself if my throat strted hurting but now i cant.I have tried everything but somehow i cant stop myself. Now my teeth have started to hurt and im sure its because of ice.I tried searching the net for answers but never found anything .The doctors kind of shrug my helpness and say its all in my hand.I know its effecting me perhaps even DESTROYINg my body from inside,but ,i cant stop myself.
Nobody seems to understand how helpless i feel about this.I want help.What should i do ,i even once thought i should start smoking perhaps it will switch my urge to eat ice.
I will be so grateful if U can help me to help myself.I know this is not an life or death situation but for me it has now become the END.
Please it has taken an immense courage to comeout with this.People laugh at me or think im a pyscho.Uptill now i do have some strength left in me,but it is becoming harder and harder to cope with this.

I have heard this is caused by Iron deficiency. Take a Good quality multi-vitamin with iron, some find the extra iron constipates them, but you could take a stool softener as well.
hope this helps
