Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi Pam: My daughter Darby is 13 and still has pica. I give her gum to chew when she chooses to chew on rubber and swallow it... etc. She does swallow her gum though but I figure it is healthier?... Sorry not much help.. I once read that you can get a pill with micro organisms from the dirt and it can help with pica... Sorry to babble just thought I'd say hi... Darby's mom Debi wrote: Welcome, Pam.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 My son had very intense PICA--it has pretty much faded--but I noticed that when he needed to pass a bowel movement--he tended to eat rubber--it ran through him and I think he sensed this---it made it easier--maybe I'm crazy but I really think he used it as a laxative--Bill Mahaffey wrote: Hi Pam: My daughter Darby is 13 and still has pica.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi Pam! Priscilla had pica when she was little but seemed to evolve out of it. I really think that going GFCF and supplementing is what licked it. no pun intended, well I know pica is eating not licking but still... I couldn't let Priscilla color with crayons even if I sat with her the whole time because she would always find a way to take a bite even with me right there and paper and kleenex so gross... Anyway she is now 5 and eats only food items mostly nutricious -Dana Priscillas mom > > Hello, > My name is Pam and I have an eight year old daughter named .
