Craving ice can be a sign of anemia.  And I think you mean Branston Pickle, a type of relish that’s almost like chutney, popular in the UK.

why do they always have to post such un-flattering pictures. We know they are normal people, but you could at least be nice and post decent pictures.

craving dirt during pregnancy is called Pica and can be related to an iron deficiency.  And I swear I am not making this up, it can also be a clue to an underlying mental or physical illness.

okay, i wasnt sure if frisky was just being ‘rude’ to brit or if it was actually something, and i didnt feel like looking it up. Of course im 20, so its not something i really know about right now.
Interesting about the illness part though!

I had been asked about any weird craving for dirt, clay or chalk. I think it means you have a vitamin deficiency of some sort. With one kid I craved rare steak with the other…. Now n Laters.

When a friend of mine was pregnant a couple years ago, the doctor mentioned she might crave odd things like dirt or cigarette ashes.  She said it was a texture thing.

I crave fruit, especially watermelon. I had to go to Walmart at 10:30 to get some because I wouldn’t be able to sleep unless I had some.  I craved Milano cookies the other day, after a spicy meal.
Before I knew I was pregnant, I wanted potato salad, which I never eat.  Then I started getting morning sickness…that was it for potato salad.  Now it grosses me out.

Yes, Pica is a disorder (involved with the brain and neurology) in which people crave abnormal and sometimes dangerous things to eat. And it is a sign of an iron deficiency (also anemia), because the brain is subconsciously telling the body to eat certain things to get iron, such as rocks, etc.

But on another note, I love onion rings with mustard! I don’t think that’s weird at all. And no, I’m not pregnant, nor have I ever been.

I’m a little over 8 months pregnant, and all I want is breakfast foods: Pancakes, Waffles, French toast, Biscuits and Gravy, Eggs, Hashbrowns, Bacon and Sausage. It’s a really good thing I don’t live near an IHOP. I’d weigh well over 200lbs!
