Ice
I've been craving it really bad here lateley. I dont know what's going on. I need to know if this is wrong? If so how bad is it? I know its due to my iron probably being low. But I just had some labs done and everything was ok except for my potassium. I know I should be drinking plenty of water but does this count. Someone please help me I cant stop eating it.

Besides, there are worse cravings...like chocolate. lol

Craving ice (pica) is associated with both iron and zinc deficiencies.
I used to get up in the middle of the night to get a cup of ice! I've been treated with IV Iron for a couple of months and now I never crave chewing ice, it does not even taste good anymore! Keep an eye on the labs but if they continue to look good enjoy the ice but remember it's bad for your teeth so chew crushed ice.
