Octavia you are not alone in your craving. I am anemic and have been eating baking soda for 15 years. I seem to eat it most when I am feeling stressed. I don't know it just tastes so good to me. I found a website last year that had quite a few people on it who suffer from baking soda addiction. I think it was called microbiotic or something like that. Do a google search and the article should come up under baking soda addiction. Anyway just wanted you to know that you are not alone. I thought I was but I have found some relief in knowing that I am not the only person with this problem

That is so crazy. I am also anemic and I eat baking soda and to top it all off I stress out really bad. When I started eating it I would put a little bit in my hand and then eat it. Sometimes I pour alot it in my hand and put and eat it. I eat it everyday. It is nice to know that I am not the only person who eats it.

You are certainly not the only one who does this, fallenangel. The great thing about message boards is their ability to connect you to people who are in similar situations and have been through similar things.

Thanks for stopping by,
Lori

Yes, it certainly does, but I'm not sure exactly what it does. If you eat quite a bit of it, it might be a good idea to talk to your Doctor about it. Or perhaps there's an anonymous nurse's line you can call if you don't want to talk to someone in person?

Since I was 7 years old I went to the dirt. It started out with digging from my grandmothers plant...thinkings it's no big deal. I has continued throughtout my life from a little bit to extreme. A few years ago I told my mom and the only things she stated was there are people around the world that do it and what it is known by. At first I thought well, I'm not abnormal because there are other people in different countries that do this...but somewhere in my heart I still felt its wrong. I've tried to stop making substitutes. I've tried to observe when I eat it but I could narrow it down to a certain mood. I finally went to the doctor and told my doctor I have a serious problem I can't control and I really need help to help me stop it. I was asked questions about my past...I had already knew what triggered it before the questions. I was told to go to another doctor and talk about it. I started to feel at that point nothing was going to help me stop, because talking about my past will due nothing. I came to terms with my past along time ago. I refuse to lie to myself and rehash everything from past and confront people I've already confronted and make ameans once again and still eat dirt. I just want to stop and as many people who would assume it's easy..its not..it gets worse and I really hate myself for it.
