    Smell Cravings/ Pica Disorder

    busylady replied to tina's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
    Hi - I too have had this problem for some time - the cravings for me are glue and coal, and the smell of firelighters (parrafin I guess). However, I have recently been diagnosed with very low iron, and am now being treated with high dose iron, and the pica's are gradually receeding. It would be worth getting checked for this type of thing as I understand that pica is a common symptom of aneamia.
