I am a ice eater due to low iron. But my craving are not as bad as once was I use to eat ice all day now maybe a half of glass now if that much.

I am a very bad ice eater whenever I go to the kitchen I take 10 ice and eat it whenever I go down now Ramadan is going on so I stopped a little ????????but my theet are perfectly fine .. I need a solution for this problem

I have picked up my habit of eating ice for some werid reaon. I was on a break from eating ice but the reverted back to it. Perhaps it's because of the summer heat, and I crave to be cool and because of the crunch ice has. I also have this thing where if I get too hot I will become sick, one of the reasons I stay in almost all day and only going outside when it is necessary. Also I turn to ice since it has no calories, I am overweight I will admit it and I'm always hungry. I could eat a huge meal, go do something for 10 minutes and come back out looking for more food. It's strange, I know. But if anyone could explain my habits I would be grateful

I have been getting up everyday and go straight to my fridge for a big glass of ice. I did this for over 6 to 7 months I could eat a 20lb bag all by myself within 2 to 3 days.. I finally collapsed found out I had real low iron... I got a prescription for iron pills and now I don't crave ice first thing in the morning anymore

I am a ice eat , because I have Anemia(low iron) I got 7 trays of ice in my freezer and in 2 hours I eat them all, I fill them with water and 1h30 later I start again ,each tray contain 12 blocks of ice , imagine that , I eat ice all day and all night , even when I am at school, I ask my teacher or ice , my excuse to them is : the class is to hot, I'm from Aruba and the sun is really hot , we are known for our sun and beaches...per day I can say I eat more than 500 blocks of ice! my family mmbers are mad at me for eating ice, but I cant stop, how can I stop?

I am also an ice eater, I went to the doctor and they said I was anemic, so I took iron pills 3 times a day for a month, I became so sick, but never got rid of the ice craving, in fact I wanted ice even more! So I stopped taking the iron pills because of the stomach cramps, feeling of fullness, constipated, just miserable! After a few months I did some research and found that I can slowly work my way to the 3 times a day iron pills and the symptoms will subside, hopefully. I do find that if I don't eat ice for a few hours, I get very hot and my mouth gets really dry. I want to stop eating ice so much but the craving is so intense, I'm sure you ask any ice eater, it's like a drug omg! If I'm not eating it, I'm thinking about eating it! I am taking my iron pills now every other day, once a day just because I'm still getting sick, not as bad. But I am also eating more red meats and leafy green veggies that are high in iron. I'm just concerned because I have broke a couple of my teeth....sigh....

I have developed an ice eating habit due to anemia and I cannot deal with the side effects from the Iron supplements. I cannot chew the regular ice cubes from the fridge, to big and solid for me but I love the snow cone ice that you get from some machines. When I can't get my hands on my favorite I'll beat the regular ice in a cloth with a mallet. This could be a help to anyone who's teeth is suffering. When it first started 6 months ago, my tummy went through an adjustment period with some discomfort for 2-3 weeks. Aside from being cold when it's cold no other issues. I am also overweight and have lost a few pounds recently.

I have been eating ice cubes since years now. I am not anemic, malnourished or anything. However, its not like I am compelled to eat ice, I can go for days without eating ice if needed to (eg while travelling, outside etc), but when at home, I usually have one small tray per night or so.

This article is very informative. I can say that I do crave ice, visited my GP to find out the reason why, was that my iron level was dangerously low and I am anemic. I was placed on strong iron pills and I do not have the craving for ice anymore. However, when I fail to take my iron pills for a length of time, the craving for ice comes back; this is when I know that my iron levels are down again. Craving ice can mean that your body is telling you that it is lacking something-in this case iron.
