Answer 6

 If you crave cornstarch, you may have a condition called pica. Pica also causes people to crave clay, dirt, chalk, and other non-food items. It's a medical condition that can be cured. It's often caused by lack of certain vitamins or minerals in your body. Please tell your doctor about your cravings for cornstarch. He/she will recognize the symptoms and help you.

<p>I am 17 years old and i have been eating corn starch every since i was around 6. My mom buys it all the time. She started when she was 17 and now she is in her late 30's. My grandma tells me that I need to stop because in the future I will have many health problems because of it. I really need help. I dont know what it is but I crave it all the time its just something about the dryness and the texture that it has when it's in my mouth.

Answer 12

I really and truely belive that this is and strong addiction but if you really want to stop you have to be determined and have faith that God will help you through this addiction because this disorder can be very harmful to the bodies, leading up to diabetes, clogs in the body, and so much more unhealthy affects to the body. TRUST ME i know, i used to be the same way but just hearing about all the problems eating cornstarch lead to i just knew i had to stop and nobody but God could help me. So if u really and truelly want and need to stop you can do it with help from the mighty God above!

OMG!!!! I so thought I was in this all alone. I just started eating cornstarch in my first pregnacy toward the end. At first I did not know what it was that I was craving. I was going through my cabinets at home finger testing flour, baking powder, baking soda, powdered sugar, and finally I came to the corn starch and I was like this is it at first I was just doing a little bit at a time each day then it increased all of a sudden I wen to eating boxes in like a week up until I had my baby. After I had her I did not crave it but when I started craveing it again I kwen something was wrong and yes that is when I found out I was having another baby and I have craved it sine the 4 month and I am due in Novemeber as a matter of fact I am craving as we tpye and fixing to go and buy me some now.

Answer 16

Answer 17

Has anyone notice how when you are eating this powderey substance, it squeaks when you chew it. And it melts so smooth in your mouth. Man when you take a large spoonful, it makes you mouth really dry...hard to chew, but it is good thing! Sometimes i will shake up the boxes so I can get a whip of the smell of it. I love the way it smells. I use to eat Argo Laundry Starch when I was younger. It was crunchy... that was so good stuff too. My mother use to eat it too. She would buy it and we would share the box. I loved it back then as well. I liked the crunchy texture of it. You couldn't make a big messy either. I remember eating it witha a glass of Coke. But now I just eat the cornstarch. It's good too. I know I should be trying to stop eating it....but it so hard to stop. I know I am addicted to it. I read these comments and I just crave for it more and more. I can almost feel it in my mouth sometimes. That's wierd isn't it. Sometime I wish I could sneak it to work so I can get my addiction on! Well I will comment again soon. God bless everyone.

Answer 18

I too crave it. It's sooooo good. I put it in the freezer and let it get really cold. It makes a real dry feeling in my mouth. I haven't tried it with a straw yet. I have read where some people eat it with a straw. It seems like if you ate it through a straw, it wouldn't be as messy. So hard to get off your clothes. I use to eat flour. Man I could eat that every day. I only ate self-rising. Didn't like all purpose taste to bland. I also use to eat dirt (from Alabamama...the good kind). But I wish I could stop eating all of this. I know it is why my iron is low, why I fell so sluggish, headache and all that other stuff. I just can't resist that soft powderey tasting stuff. It soooooooo gooooood. maybe I will stop soon who knows. LOL!!!!!

Answer 19

Answer 20

I feel your pain....I have been addicted to cornstarch since I was 21 years old and i am now 31 years old.  It is very hard to quit but it does cause low iron and it is also horrible for your teeth and gums.  I have tried so hard to quit and i just cant.  I have been clean now for 2 weeks but I don't know how long it will last....

Answer 21

I love cornstarch also..i have been eating it since i was 15 and im 25 now. I have tried to wing myself off of it but didnt work. It scares me because I had a friend who ate like 2 a day and had a stroke. The doctor said it was because of this. Im still addicted tho. It did caused me to be anemic.If i dont have starch im eating ice. The doctor diagnosed me with a disorder called PICA. He said its when your body craves something and things like cornstarch are a substitute for it.I dunno.Im taking iron pills butI still feign for it!

Answer 22

NO, THERE ISNT ANYTHING THAT WILL MAKE YOU JUST AS HAPPY. BUT YOU KNOW THIS ISNT VERY HEALTHY. I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH THE SAME ISSUE FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS. TAKE IRON PILLS, THAT SHOULD HELP WITH THE CRAVINGS SOME. YOU HAVE TO BE STRONG AND TRY NOT TO BUY IT. IT'S HARD. I WANNA BUY SOME AFTER WORK NOW. I PROBABLY WONT MAKE IT TO THE STORE TIL TOMORROW, BUT I'M GONNA TRY. GOOD LUCK.
