» Cravingthesame - Cornstarch...ME TOO!!

I am not too sure what to believe about my desire for cornstarch. I haven't started eating yet but I am really close. I have had this craving all of a sudden for cornstarch..I like to smell it...sprinkle it on my face. Sometimes I will just shake the bottle, let the powder fumes come out, and then I get this little tasty of a chalky like substance in my mouth. I ABSOLUTELY love it!! And this is my first time ever craving a non food substance. I also noticed something was wrong because we were having painting done at my office and I stayed late just to smell the walls. I ended up with paint on my face and I was okay with that! Part of me believes the iron thing because I know that I am severly anemic and I just recently had surgery on the issue that has caused me to become anemic. I am glad to hear that I am not alone..I thought I was losing my mind. I have heard of Pica but I didn't know that a person's body could want something so bad!
