Ice, Ice Baby IDA and Pica Eating Ice
In this segment of "The Anemia Red Flag Diaries" entitled "Ice, Ice Baby: Iron Deficiency Anemia and Pica (Eating Ice or a Non-Food Item)," Ronnetta Griffin of the Iron Disorders Institute and the founder of Get Your Iron Up and Ironology Health Solutions describes her pattern of obsessive craving and eating ice. She explains how she learned that what she thought was just a bad habit was in fact an eating disorder called "Pica" and a really big "red flag" for Iron Deficiency Anemia (IDA). IDA can lead to heart failure, so be sure to learn more and see your physician and ask for a full iron panel! You can order one online at www.ironology.life.

    Wow this videos is excellent... I had iron deficiency and for years had no idea what was the underlying cause of my symptoms... Finally putting a name to my lengthy 'near-death' experience is true ie freedom. My main symptoms were - -Extreme fatigue -insomia -dark circles around eyes -migrans -dizziness -ringing in th ears -occasionally feeling like my soul was coming out The worst symptoms then happened : -heart palpitations & shortness of breath. It was at this point that I decided to pray and seek to gain understanding of whats happening with me. My health has taken a 180 degrees... I eat lots of greens and never run out of iron... I used to sleep many hours bu now when I'm up I'm up...I'm so energetic and so much more healthier & upbeat.... Beautiful video.

    I just feel it’s only certain ice that makes my mouth water. I also want to eat medicated powder. Or walking through an industrial area…omg…sooo good. Saw dust and metal objects slicing through iron and steel. I’m thinking it’s the mineral content in these items that makes me crave them so badly as a reaction to having a mineral deficiency. When I’m taking my iron supplements I don’t have the craving either.

    Took excessive zinc supplements for a long time. Had fatigue, anxiety, sleep issues, hair loss. Luckily I paid for a vitamin test and it showed low ferritin. Realized I had copper deficiency and low ferritin since zinc blocks their absorption.

    • @bobGmitter

      Cold hands and feet, whooshing/tinnitus, out of breath, etc. Doctors dont catch it until it is anemia. I was lucky to catch it early with just low ferritin. I take Heme iron, copper, and whole vitamin C.

I’ve had no treatments of any sort bc I had a doctor who said I wasn’t anemic. At a 3!! Well, I was just told if it’s still low, I may want to get infusion but I didn’t know it was multiple infusions. Very helpful. Hope you are well!!

    This sounds so much like me, I already know from my lab results I'm iron deficient because my red blood cell count is very low, but I do all these things except for eating ice. I'm always in front of the space heater and I can't sleep because I'm out of breath and I feel so tired all the time. I'm always cold although when I'm out in the sunshine hits me I feel so much better, and the shower one is totally me I want to stand in the shower and keep making the water hotter and hotter which I imagine it's actually scalding but it doesn't seem to affect me. Thank you for sharing this information.

I went to ER and had X-rays for my heart and lungs doctor said it looked ok. I had blood tests in January My ferritin was 28 and I have been taking different kinds of iron pills myself for more than one year my ferritin was 29 one year ago I’m feeling so helpless that doctors said my ferritin is normal but I know 28 is too low.

    I'm having chest pains and nerve pain since 2 months. I was absolutely fine and when one day started having chest pain... It scares me a lot... I have done my ECG echocardiogram endoscopy and what not... Doctor said my heart was fine.... All the doctors are saying that I have in society and anxiety is causing me e these weird pains all over my body and specially my chest pain.. somewhat I was not ready to believe them... I I'm having extremely dry lips... It's sometimes even bleed when the skin comes off, kind of dry skin. And people tell me that I looked very unwell... I got my vitamin test done.... And my vitamin d level is 12.... Dr never asked me for a bit test but can my chest pain and other pain all around my body and specially my wrist and my feet can be a sign of vitamin d deficiency... Can vitamin d deficiency at a level of 12 be so severe Also I have had breathing issues now a days... Strange tightness in the body. ... Lump in the throat feeling... And upset stomach... And I'm also having lump in the throat feeling.. can dis be due to vit d or calcium deficiency or iron or potassium bdeficiency? I have done my B12 test also which are normal.... Last month I had my ovarian cyst surgery for which my CBC was done but it was also normal... For now I have sent my samples for iron testing

    Hello, please also look into "oxcaletes" percentage in food. For instance, spinach has about 750 oxcaletes (very high!) which hinders your body, unable to absorb iron. You'd really have to do your homework on this because tumeric as well as many other spices & vegetables are high which is fine for other people but for anemic people. *Eating beef liver is a game changer if you can eat it! *Always eat heme iron & all iron with vitamin C for propped absorption! Let us all have good luck & heal up! 🙏 *check them oxcaletes so you are not wasting your time or shooting yourself in foot backtracking your progress/efforts. Oxcaletes clean your body of I t iron 😔
