Hi, I'm 29 weeks pregnant.I'm suffering from pica. for about a month and a half I ate small pieces of drywall that I swallowed and chewed and then spat out pieces of wall, I wanted to know if this attitude may have irreparably damaged my child's health, thanks in advance!
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Eating cement may interfere with the nutrient absorption of healthy food substances and actually cause a deficiency. Pica cravings are also a concern because non-food items may contain toxic or parasitic ingredients. Silicon it is harmful for you and baby. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
