Problems due to excessive eating of ice

Guest over a year ago

I thought I was the only one that had this problem. I'll burp and the water flows out. I've had everything checked and I'm not anemic, just live eating ice. Just hate peeing every 10 minutes.

Usually a craving for ice is a sign of an iron deficiency

I get bloated from eating Ice. I'm eating ice all day and at this very moment. I believe my iron is very low but I refuse to be constipated so I bought a big bottle of Miralax and it really works. I eat bags and bags of the ice from stores but I noticed my ice from the ice maker was not clean so I buy the ice and put in to get it crushed, I eat ice all day at work when I leave for the day my trash can is full of cups from eating ice all day and I take at least 5 cups home with me and eat in the car.

I had 6 bypasses 8 months ago at which time I quit smoking, mind you I only smoked 10 cigarettes a day, but heart problems are big in the women in my family, so they don't think the smoking caused it but I'm not taking any chances. I ate a cup of crushed ice one day from Sonic and I was addicted. I've been through 2 ice crushers now I have a mallot that I crush ice in a baggie, but ice maker ice softened is really great. I am at the lower side of my hemoglobin so slight anemia. But I believe mine is from addiction transfer from smoking to ice eating. Dr says ice eating is better for you, I'm just worried about my teeth but not enough to quit. I eat gallons of ice, all day long so I hope it doesn't cause other problems, I'm out of habits now. Don't drink, don't smoke and don't chase men so I only have my ice now.

I have the same craving of ice and I am not anemic. I've had my blood tested many times and my hemoglobin etc are normal. I can't find a site or answer to the cause of ice chewing not related to anemia. Hrlp

Omg I thought I was alone. I've been eating ice since my 2nd child was born she is now 11 lol. I too carry around my own personal cup with me all day. N I found the perfect cup method and.would go crazy without it I have a double stack cup the sweet tea Styrofoam inside a 44oz plastic cup n when ppl ask they could never understand but the Styrofoam keeps the ice longer but not strong enough for the abuse it will take so that's what the plastic is for. I eat a 22lb. Bag in 2 days it's so bad when they are me come in the local grocery store they know exactly what I want they have become "my dealer" . But the bad part n the things I'm trying to fix as a result of this is the site tounge n eating 2 cups before bed so I get no sleep because I'm using the restroom all night so my mornings suck. I NEED HELP..

I am sitting here at my desk crying, laughing and eating my ice while reading some of these comments. I broke down and told my doctor that the only time I am happy is when I am eating ice. She asked how long this has been going on and I said a long, long time. I can't stop. I wake up in the mornings thinking about a glass of ice. I go to bed with a glass of ice on the bedside table and do not fall asleep until the glass is empty. I love ice! I crave ice. I can go into a restaurant and forego food...just for the ice. My doctor said I should have told her that a long time ago, but I guess I forgot. I take ice everywhere I go, expect church. I leave it in the car during church and pray its not all melted when I get back in the car. My doctor said my iron was a "little" low, but not too bad. She told me (4 hours ago) to cutback on the ice. Cut back on the ICE???? Uhhh, okay. I think I'm going to need some nerve pills or something to help me fight this beast that I will become if I can't have my ice. I don't ask for much.....just some ice.

YES. there is a direct connection from eating ice and constipation. your body is assuming that you are eating something that you can Digest through the intestines.....but its not...its a soluble. For ice eaters, you usually don not DRINK WATER AT ALL. So your body becomes constipated.....be careful. It got so bad for me that I got hemhhroids for from dehydration.
