You're anemic...get more iron. I've had the problem a couple times (first time I was preggers).

michelle_g · May 6th, 2008, 01:43 PM

well that is a constant thing for me actually. my normal blood count is always at borderline anemic. so that isnt surprising. but what is it about ice thats associated with anemia?

Sharebear is right --YOU ARE ANEMIC! You can increase the iron you get in your daily diet by eating more dark meat if you eat chicken, beans, and leafy green veggies.

I started craving ice daily, after losing twins in 2002, and consequently hemorrhaging for some time afterwards. I could not go a day without a huge Big Gulp sized cup of ice. My students began asking what was "really" in my cup. I had no idea that I was severely anemic until one day, my blood pressure plummeted and I passed out.

I advise you to speak to your doctor, soon.

I don't know what causes it. I know that craving certain things can mean you're low in other nutrients. When I was pregnant with my son I was told I was border line anemic then switched drs and nothing else was said. I craved ice the whole time I was pregnant...as soon as I gave birth I quit craving it. I heard several years after that that craving ice means you're anemic. Recently I started craving it again.....had a blood test and my iron was low. Increased iron and I'm fine -- kinda weird.

By the time you start craving ice, you are REALLY anemic. I suggest you take an iron pill (once a day) for the next few days, and make an appt. with the doc.

Pashen79 · May 6th, 2008, 02:44 PM

Don't feel bad I crave for Ice all the time ..........
I have seen the doc and he said its anemic
It could be from heavy periods for women
I eat 4 32oz cups in a 8 hr work day
Before I go to bed I have a cup of ice right by me.

michelle_g · May 6th, 2008, 04:01 PM

lol... yup i get up and grab a cup that i eat while im getting ready. then i get to work and fill up my cup about 3-4 times. then another that i fill up when i get home and that goes to bed with me too... im glad im not the only one. but ill get me iron pills. would it be better to get a multivitamin with extra iron or two seperate pills?
