My Weird Eating Habit Nearly Got Me Sick

Ever caught yourself (or your kid) munching on ice, chalk, or even stranger stuff? I’ve been there—and it took me a while to realize it wasn’t just a quirky habit. 💡 Track what you (or your loved one) are eating. If non-food items keep popping up for a month or more, it’s time to pay attention. 📌 Watch for weird symptoms: tummy trouble, tooth issues, or even finding odd things in diapers or the toilet. These can be big red flags. ⚠️ Notice emotional changes—like skipping meals, eating in secret, or feeling shame or anxiety about eating habits. These signs matter just as much as the physical ones. ✅ Don’t wait to talk to a doctor. Getting help early can prevent some really nasty complications. #EatingDisorders #PicaAwareness #HealthTips #Health #Diet
