Hey... I am ice eater too.. since the beginning i guess.. well it annoyed my family a lot they think I am paranoid or something but it didn't stop me from eating ice. Though I feel pain in my teeth now a days but even then i feel this addiction the craving towards it. I don't know about my iron but yeah I do feel I have weak bones and teeth. But i love eating ice.

i'm an ice chewer....idk fr hw long now. i crave fr ice bdly....so much so tht if thre isnt any avaible i eat the frost/snow found in freezus. the feelng of hvng crushed ice at the back of ur throat is so gud......dnt hve any prblems except tht i get brainfreeze occasionally

I eat on ice all day everyday. Can't help it. My mouth stays so dry. It doesn't matter what kind it is either. Cubed or crushed but sonic has the best. I mean I can eat 3 to 4 cups at one sitting. Been like this for years. Now I'm having problems with very low iron. I mean really really low. Gotta have my ice though.

I am doing on a cup of ice as I type. I'm 31 years old and I've been eating ever since I was a little girl. I just can't stop eating it. I love the crushed ice though. I got to have it every day. I just love the way it tastes and the way it feels on my teeth when I'm crunching it. It can be zero and blow outside I still have to have me a cup of ice. I would like to stop eating it but I can't.

I eat ice every day as a way to stay hydrated. I don't drink soda and water makes me nauseous. I normally eat 2 of those 100 ounce containers of crushed ice from Circle K. If you get those containers, you can get as much of it as you want. I.make a run for refills everyday. I know I'm addicted because I feel like I go into withdrawals. I would love to stop but I can't!!!

I also love to eat ice, I just got done eating a cup of ice. I eat it all day, everyday. I try to take a cup of ice water with me everywhere i go and i also have a snow cone maker that i use to crush ice up into snow and eat it by the cup full. I can sometimes see how it affects my life. I'll eat it when I'm at work, I work at a daycare, and then I immediately have to talk to a child or parent and I have a mouth full of ice. It's unprofessional and embarrassing but I don't even realize i'm doing it most of the time. My teeth also hurt sometimes but then i'll slow down on eating ice for a day or two and my teeth will feel fine after that. Other than those few things, i really dont see a problem with it and i dont plan on stopping any time soon.

I'm 30yrs I always eat 2-3 trays of ice cubes a day and I can't get pregnant. I would like to know why because I don't even use birth control or anything please help.

I'm 22 years old and I'm pretty sure I'm addicted to eating ice. But I can't be just any ice, it has to be ice from Casey's! I eat 2-3 32oz cups of ice A DAY. It started when I was 30 weeks pregnant with my son... he's almost 7 months old now and the craving hasn't gone away. I eat it at home, at work, in the car.... I make my fiancé stop anytime we go by a Casey's just so I can get at least 2 cups of ice. I feel like I HAVE to have it. I've been smoking since I was 11.. and if I HAD to choose between smoking or ice, I think I'd choose ice. I had low iron when I was pregnant, but I don't know if I do now or not.

I am 48yrs old and I simply have to have my crushed ice from Valero, however I am severely anemic. Since reading the studies on how ice affects your teeth, I am really going to try to stop! Any suggestions, because without it I'm one cranky lady??

I am a nurse, a retired senior citizen and I started eating ice chips about 2 years ago. My husband says its because i'm sexually frustrated, but I read a research article on that subject and it's not true even though Sigmund said so. I am not pregnant, nor will I ever be, and I do not suffer from anemia. I have damaged my teeth from the habit, but I just like the way the ice feels in my mouth and I love a good hardy crunch of a ice chip, or potato chips, cookies and such. I started because I'm not a big fan of drinking water and I suffer from dehydration so I started using ice. You know water is frozen H2O, so why does it change the effects when it's in the ice form? I'll have to look up a study on that one. Even when I teach OB nursing the pica eating is covered and ice is the pica of choice and the effects of anemia with the ice, I still do not understand how it changes in the body from water, it is water just frozen. I love ice chewing but right now I have the ability to stop, but not the desire.
