This is very interesting. I have aplastic anemia, and I’ve experienced nearly all of the symptoms listed! That just shows you, I am anemic!
Thank you for posting that.
It explains a lot! Haha.
Good day. (:

So, I am happily chewing ice while reading this, lol. I craved ice with both my pregnancies, and have been back at it for a bit now. Sonic is great, I get ice by the bag from there. When I run out I pull out my Ninja and crush away, I’ll eat it right out of the blender!!!

I use to go around town to different Tim Hortons stores to see where my favourite shape of ice was…And then i discovered Mcdonalds ice. i get a large cup twice a day, before work, and after. i go out of my way to make sure that i get it, and whenever i order at the same stores the employees look at me like i am nuts! i had absolutely no idea there was actually and issue witht his. i am 22 and have been fighting with anemia for over 6 years now and have been chewing and loving ice since day one. the crunching of the ice drives my mom nuts so i have to leave the room if i want to continue to chomp away. I laughed out loud reading this message and im happy to know I am not alone.
mmmmm just talking about it is making my mouth water.

@Heidi above: You might need to have your colon checked. On a medical website, I read that anemia (and ice chewing) can be a secondary problem caused by bleeding ulcers or cancer in the colon.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I craved bacon, now all I eat is ice my fiance and I probably pay $20 a month on bags of ice, the ones you get from the gas station. But I do agree hospitals have the best ice ever:). When my daughter had a doc.apt. they checked her iron and my iron and my iron is lower than hers and she is only 2 years old im 20. how could this be and they asked if we craved ice and they said this was the reason why. I dont find any of this funny anymore I seriously think its becoming a problem because in my day I eat alot of foods that have iron in them so I still dont know why Im craving ice and have low iron.
