Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 Re: pica If it's a deficiency then the child would be eating, licking items with those ingredients. Clothing does not generally have zinc or iron. It sounds more like an oral fixation rather than pica.Sent from my iPhone Pica is a zinc, iron and mineral deficiency. Give her zinc, liquid chlorophyll to increase the hemaglobin (iron) and liquid trace minerals. Addressing GI issues as well to improve absorption. Does anyone have any suggestion for a child who is engaging in pica behaviors picking her strings an continuing to eat her close off I go through a new shirt a day and shorts we have try just about everything from play doh to chew to-obs thanks Suzettee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
