Guest guest Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hi. I have been a member of the group for quite awhile, but this is my first post. We have been dealing with pica type issues with my 10 year old son for almost 7 years. It comes and goes, and thankfully we have never had major issues with it. The most recent looks like some stuffing and stringy like material from a chair cushion. I found signs in his bm. He usually has very " regular " bm's, but seems to be struggling a bit to pass this material. He is going, though, and acting healthy, so we aren't too concerned, but mainly want to hear from other parents of children that have this issue. And any suggestions or things that have worked to get their child to stop or at least curb this pica tendency. We have implemented many things to help (ABA techniques, crunchy snacks, set snack schedule, etc.) and most do for awhile, but want to end it for GOOD!! (Neurologist doesn't think it's pica because not fitting the definition and we think it is more sensory/anxiety related.) Thanks in advance!!
