Addicted to "Sonic" Ice

Could be pica -- anemia which makes you crave ice.

I, too, was an ice chomper -- for decades.  I've always been prone to anemia, surgery or not, and I worshipped that "pebble" type ice (still do).  I always have store-bought ice in my freezer but have actually considered an ice maker that creates the pebbled ice for my ever-present Crystal Lite iced tea with lemon.

The problem with chewing ice is that you can break teeth, and I was a prize ice-chomping molar-shattering fool.  Between that and all the enamel damage I have due to barfing (complications from first surgery, fixed now after revision), I have very pretty, natural-looking, amazingly expensive repairs.  The molars are almost all crowned from the chomping.  That and hard candy -- I was a serious addict.

Have you had your iron levels checked lately?  You probably should do so if you haven't.  That ice craving is one sign. 

But I indeed understand the ice cravings, anemia or not.

Eating Ice is known as "pica" and is also related to an Iron deficiency.
Thats what my nut said.
And PCP.
And when I was tested I craved ice and was anemic.

I have never been anemic but always was an ice eater----untill I had to pay for a hole I created in my tooth from chewing to much and then paying $800 to get it fixed.

I love their ice! I buy it two bags at a time.  I add crystal light powder to it with a little water for a slushie!  YUMMMY

Okay, I'm not a pica person,and I don't think there is a Sonic near me (but I see the commercials all the time--sooo not fair!)  but I can't go to a 7-11 store without getting at least 1 of 3 things: Crystal Light ICEE or XL Coffee or a lottery ticket. I was so excited in the summer when I found the Crystal Light ICEE. It was like they were thinking about us folks who can't drink sweets!

Soni**** is the best !! Yumm !! I have an ice shaver here at home & use it often with my Crystal light . I have always liked ice for some strange reason . I'm pretty sure my iron is ok too because my labs always coming back in the normal range .I have always found ice to be a guilt free pleasure .

Sonic is next door to me at work. We love Soni**** I keep a bag in the fridge at work for my protien shakes. I haven't been feeling well and the idea of a sonic protien shake sounds good for my afternnon snack. Thanks.
