Hello ladies i'm glad that we all share the same problems with the ice. i get fussed at at work because i sit at my desk and munch all day. i have a ice maker at home and prctically every morning i bring my large cup and a zip lock bag full of ice so i can eat it. and no one can understand why. i love the taste of ice. eating it to me is like eating chips or snacks. it also soothes me when i stress. i have to have a cup even to help me sleep. but i also have another addiction. i also eat pepermints. ice & pepermints what a combination. i need help.

wow! i am going through the same thing with my skin. like im always itching but not to the point that i bruse my skin, i just figured that my skin is dry. sadly i dont think even the itchy skin is enough to make me stop eating ice. i do take my iron pills every so often but find it hard to conitue taking them, i even bought shewable vitatmins to make it easier for me to taske. tried finding foods thats high in iron. i have come to the conclusion i just love to eat ice.

I am also o neg and crunch ice constantly. I think this is a recent development, since I can't remember doing it before. I am not anemic, though I have been in the past. I thought ice chomping was related to hypertension? I just was diagnosed last week, and am already crunching less...

I also am a ice eater. My family notices it all the time and tells me to stop but i really cant help it. i LOVE ice. And i believe that over time it has gotten worse. I eat ice everyday. i seriously cannot go a day without eating it. Some times i wake up in the middle of the night just to go get a cup of ice to eat. And i ALWAYS finish my ice. or i will make many trips back and forth to the fridge to eat on ice. I feel that each picece of ice has a different taste. The ice is my frezzer is amazing and i love it. But its like the smaller the ice the better and the cruncher the better. i wait around for people to finish their drinks and ask are they going to eat their ice. sometims i even go downstairs fix me a cup of ice and put hot water in it and pour the hot water or so that it melts the ice a little in the cup and i do this over and over again until i have a full cup of ice. sometime i will go up to fast food places mainly zaxbys and sonics to get a cup of ice. they have the best ice ever! i just carry around ice with me almost everwhere i go. I never go to bed without a cup of ice beside me. but my most favorite type of ice is also snow cone ice with no flavor just the ice!! its amazing! and i have even started going to sonic and asking for a slush drink but i tell them not to put any flavor in the drink just to give me the ice that they use to make it. I really do need help with what im dealing with. i really dont think its normal. i have even started chewing on tissue. i will go into the bathroom grab a huge handfull of tissue and chew on it like its gum and then spit it out. in the past i have fainted and had really bad hot flashes but i dont know if its from eating ice or what. and im not pregnant (just to throw that in there). someone please tell me what i need to do and whats wrong with me. i want to stop craving ice but i seriously cant help it. WHAT DO I DO???

I have severe anemia and have been eating ice for years. I eat sonic ice and crushed ice from quiktrip. I carry ice cups with me where ever I go and don't grab my keys without my ice cup first. I have been seeing a hematologist/oncologist for a year and he gave me folic acid along with a very high dose of iron. I have yet to reach the required level of at least 12 but for the past 3 months I am at a steady 9. I can't stop eating the ice, even after the blood transfusions, I can only go two or three days without the cravings returning. I eat three or more 44oz cups a day and my teeth hurt so bad that I take otc meds to stop the pain. I stay cold even if the weather is 90+ and I sit outside at least twice a day just to warm up(with my giant cup of ice). It is so bad that if my kids even think to get ice for a drink, I go crazy. I have even bought an ice shaver just in case I cant get to the store to buy a couple of bags. I try to stop but my mouth gets so dry I feel like my throat is going to close and I will pass out. I had a craving for dirt(red clay) when I had surgery in '06 but never got the courage to put it into my mouth. Even driving pass a pile of dirt, I reach for my cup or beeline to the nearest sonic (I know where every sonic is in the city).

yes, I crave the smell of fresh tires in a tire store,, the smell of dirt on a country road, especially when the rain hits it, oh my,,, lol,,, I have also been eating so much ice that my core temp. of my body is so low sometimes, that my hair actually shakes from where I am shivering so much,, I don't care though, I cannot shake this ice chomping sensation. I carry around a humongous insulated mug, my husband just shakes his head at me, lol. I want to crush ice in the morning right before I go to work, I will turn the stove on, stand in front of it and just be a happy little camper chomping on my crushed ice at 6:30 in the morning. I try to eat as much as I can before I have to head out the door for work. It's sad. I buy bags of convenience store ice every other day, and I can't wait to get them home to crush, so I just tear open the bag and start practically inhaling them. On the bad side, you really have to be near a bathroom at all times, because eating this much ice (water) makes me have to go all the time. It has actually disrupted my sleeping pattern. I now have to get up at least two times to go to the restroom. Not getting sufficient rest. Also, my bowels are also haywire. You would think taking in this much water would be good for your bowels regularity,, but for me, it is just the opposite. I will go almost 4-5 days without a bm, stay constipated since I have picked up this habit and I know that ice chomping is the culprit, I just don't know why. Anyways, I did a search on ice cravings, and cannot even believe all of the responses on this subject. Feel somewhat relieved actually.

Don't be confused! Eating ice is not making you anemic - you eat ice because your blood iron is too low. It is winter here in Australia but I am still eating ice even though it is cold!!! I have forgotten about this and I am going to have a blood test !!!!
