Thats called Pica and it means your deficient in something, more than likely iron. Eat more foods with iron in it (red meats, spinach, leafy greens,  wheat products, egg yolks, etc.) Just google iron rich foods and you'll be able to find more

I've been craving gravel I just wAnt to eat it but I dnt. I told my dr. N she did blood work but the results came back normal.  This is my second pregnancy n the second time ice craved something other than food. I'm quite sure I'm lacking something just not sure of what it is.

Sounds like pica. It usually is an iron deficiency or your body is lacking something you need. So not a good symptom. I'd call your Dr :)

No chalk but I LOVE chewing cushion. Lol my sil makes fun of me all the time but I can't help it. I don't swallow it, I just love chewing on it

[bbvirgo14]

Talk to ur doc. And pls dnt eat chalk lol.. try tums they're chalky lol :)

[choeyoojin]

I don't but you should call your Dr. Any time you crave something that's not food you are most likely missing something in your diet.
