Pica is a lack of zinc, iron and minerals that's why children are looking to eat inanimate objects because they are looking for minerals. Decrease the yeast and clean up the GI tract and give liquid minerals, zinc and liquid chlorella for iron. Eventually the Pica issue should go away.

My daughter, now 6 had a major problem with this (chewing and Pica). At a young age, we used Chewiez which you can buy from the Sensory Integration Catalog…think it is called “Integrations†but not sure – anybody chime in. And then once she was old enough to understand how to chew gum, we gave up the chewiez and replaced in with gum – a more appropriate item to put in her mouth. It was a part of her need to seek input. We now have it as part of her IEP so she does have gum in school. It doesn’t resolve all the issues – she still searches out cardboard and glue but it does serve as a useful alternative to most mouthing concerns.

Lenny,

Pica is eating. If it's merely chewing, it could just be stimming.

And the zinc deficiency theory... well, it may be right in some cases, but it's, for the most part, just another example of the utter cluelessness of the modern medical (and the "biomedical" -- which is only pseudobiological and rejects the basic principles of modern medicine) establishment when it comes to autism.

Does anyone have a problem with their ASD child chewing on EVERYTHING? My 7 year old bites and chews on wood, leather, metal, hard plastics (that splinter when he bites them into pieces). Has anyone come up with remedies for chewing? Are there supplements, meds, etc. that have worked, to prevent excessive chewing?

zinc for a 5 year old - probably around 20 mg. but she might tolerate 30 mg. fine as well. Actually Chlorophyll

is what you want - Chlorella is from seaweed and Chlorophyll is the green chlorophyll in leafy greens. You generally do not want to give iron because it's constipating, so chlorophyll feeds red blood cells which increases iron. It's comes in a liquid or tabs in the healthfood store by World Organics or Nature's Way. Liquid minerals such as Colloidal Minerals or Fulvic Minerals will increase the minerals.

I have a 5 yr old daughter who has pica sypmtoms. She chews on leaves, sticks, stones and toys but doesn't swallow it. We did chewies for a while and I must say gum has been a huge success however very obsessive now about having gum

Curious to know how much zinc to give hersince she's 5 and what is chlorella?

I have heard a large amount of our children have zinc deficiencies (through reported lab testing) and have heard, but am not recommending because I am not a physician-nor have I seen any lab work on this particular child, 20-40 mg of zinc per day. Zinc is also linked with some of the food aversions our kids have as zinc is related to smelling food and tasting food.
