Re: re: Eating dirt and clay... (pica)

<I on

eating dirt, biting chunks off bricks,

etc...he is only about 40 pounds and hates to eat regular food, doesn't

like the texture or something...isn't there a name for this condition?

My son is 18mos and does the same thing, in fact he has preferred dirt clods,

rocks, even tried to take bites from charcoal(to no avail ofcourse, but only

because he can no longer see it!) I mentioned it to his ped before dropping

him, they did an iron test and said his level was like a 10 or 12, something in

that range, which meant nothing to me, aside from him saying that wasn't the

cause, and never mentioned it again or anything else for that matter.

The response to this post was " pica " is something i should worry about?

I'm just curious if either of you two women's children have had even one vax in

their little lives? My grandson has autism from vaccines and I believe it was

the mercury as the catalyst that set him up for his neuroimmune system to be

knocked out when he got the MMR. Pica is part of this package. So I was

wondering if any of your kids have had even one shot.
