Why am I addicted to eating ice cubes?

Question

Ok on and off for the past few years I've been eating ice cubes. Well currently I am totally addicted to eating ice cubes. I crave them, fiend for them. It's kind of crazy. I was once told it's a sign of anemia though I'm not sure how true it is. So what's the deal, why am i addicted to ice cubes?

Answer 1

I think it has something to do with anemia! My friend craved ice while she was pregnant, and the doctor said it was because her iron levels were low! Chomp away, my friend, chomp away...

Answer 2

well they say that alot of women are addicted to ice cubes when pregnant maybe you want to be pregnatnt but you arent you body feels pregnant so it craves something that is related to being pregant its probably just socological

Answer 3

I have a friend and aunt that has always ate ice. Two different doctors ended up telling both it was because of a iron deficiency.

Answer 4

Iron deficiency anemia does causes ice craving.
