idk if this is pica, but i used to chew on wet washcloths. like in the shower, i would stand there & chew on it. idk why but it felt good.
Dr Sebi, guise! He said majority of black people have an iron deficiency & the meds they give you to regulate it arent good for our bodies. Lots of Apricots & green leafy veggies often. Iron meds arent making y'all constipated?
Its crazy, a month after this thread I had a blood transfusion bc of low iron levels and the iron they prescribed backs me up. I skip days and drink tea, but I really can't afford to not take the full does they give me or else I get weak.
I eat spinach, but I know its not enough. I'll try the apricots too. I don't like iron pills.
it's a very small amount of spinach you need to eat too that's high in iron! try green drinks like twice a day. organic apricots! do you have dark circles around your eyes? (if you dont mind me asking)
I do get darker around the eyes, but I'm really dark so I assumed it was normal. I also get darker around my elbows ad knees.
yes, thats another symptom. try those green drinks twice a day!! it never hurts to try. depending on your weight should equal the amount of greens/apricots etc. good luck, girly boo! also are you taking any meds other than? cuz what could be pulling your iron this much?
Nothing else, but we don't know yet. It's been months and nothing. I had low iron for years and no one diagnosed it until last year. But thanks! I don't wanna be on meds for the rest of my life, so this helps a lot.
Chile that damn Kroger brand cornstarch. I like argo in the yellow tub in a pinch though. I keep quitting it but the sh!t be calling me. I've been clean for about 3 weeks.
I like to get the box, put water in it then put it on my cable box to dry for a few days. It gets so crunchy with little rocks inside the box and it tastes just like the box too.
Or I like to put water in the cornstarch, make big chunks, let it dry, then crush them up. That sh!t be looking like those little crunchy potato sticks. Delicious. Why is it so delicious.
Kuzu root starch is delicious as well but too expensive.
Reading the comment, I notice many would say they like it because of the texture. Because it was dryI don’t think we’re the only ones who eat like this. And it seems to be a big thing in the US. People should substitute it with another cheap healthy alternative like grapes or something.
The texture of what? Cornstarch? I’ve never eaten cornstarch alone and Idk anyone who does.Reading the comment, I notice many would say they like it because of the texture. Because it was dry
Yeah. The texture idk and the dryness. It’s sad. I am sure it’s not just us but it seems like we are the majority. All the videos I see are from black women.The texture of what? Cornstarch? I’ve never eaten cornstarch alone and Idk anyone who does.
I did. It kept saying the photo was to large so I had to crop itPost the PICA vids OP, I can see your point being missed and I would love to see if cornstarch related PICA affects black women more than others.
Well maybe cornstarch is cheaper for the iron they’re trying to get. Idk they could easily just eat beans or something. I’m mad bc a lot of nuts have iron but are expensive asf.Yeah.
