Eating the Unthinkable: My Wake-Up Call for Iron Deficiency
Join me as I share my personal journey of craving and consuming paper, flour, and yes, even baby powder. Call it fine dining for the nutritionally challenged. This unusual menu is rooted in iron deficiency and a condition called pica. Together, we will break the silence around these cravings, explore the medical reasons behind them, and talk about real solutions. If you have ever wondered why someone might swap lunch for stationery, or if you are quietly facing these urges yourself, you are not alone. Let us learn, reflect, laugh a little, and heal through honest conversation.
