    Wow dirt rocks and baking soda! I can't think of a similar food substitute. Pick up a hobby maybe.

    Have you tried gum chewing?
  • one5oneone5one
    Sound like you got pica. Its something people do when they have a vitamin or mineral deficiency. I say have your blood tested & check that out. If not & your ok. Try eating ice. Safer for you!!

    @mrsforesee I'm gonna try red meat because I just started back eattin it since I've been pregnant... I haven't eattin it in years
  • one5oneone5one
    Maybe you got to wait sometime before they work. Cuz I don't know if lots of baking soda is good for your belly. Try ice I'm telling you its yum. Especially the hospital crunchy ice!!
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    Eat leafy greens and take your supplement with vitamin c! It takes a couple of weeks for the pill to take affect but it does. I can actually go the whole day without ice now. :) not that I do, but that's another story.

    (My favourite is the Tropicana juice because it's a dollar a carton.)

    @marriedwith_4 yay!! Maybe with all that red meat your twins will show themselves next ultrasound!! :)
  • marriedwith_4marriedwith_4
    @one5one I eat ice too. Lol

    @marysue I've been slackin on greens, really everything cuz I don't eat that much, but hopefully these iron pills will help me leave the baking soda alone. My mouth is watering for it now & I'm fighting so hard not to get some

    @bri2186 how about condoms? J/k. Lol
  • marriedwith_4marriedwith_4
    @mrsforesee don't push it, u know they like to do their own thang. Lol

    @marriedwith_4, girl stop lol! I'm anemic & my ice addiction is legendary! I hoped that the vitamins would stop me, but I haven't even slowed down. The sad thing is I've been throwing up so much I can't even keep that down. Maybe some baking soda will settle my stomach. Hmmm... ;-)
  • marriedwith_4marriedwith_4
    @tishj330 IIIIIIII DUUUUUUUNO. I still have heartburn too. Lol
  • TishJ330TishJ330
    Heartburn?!? No fair! You'd think that'd be the last thing you'd have! Aaargh!!!
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    @marriedwith_4 Same here, I got to where I slept all night and day (because I was always tired) And I wouldn't eat until 4 ish. And that was usually whatever the hubby brought home from Papa John's haha. But now everything's in season I have been eating veggies and fruits like a mo-fo. Especially watermelon. =P~

    @marysue I just hate the price of fruit its so damn high

    @ashleyfew that smells good
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    Isn't it though? We go to Sam's Club so it's a bit better, 3.98 for 2 lbs of strawberries and 3.98 for huge seedless watermelons. :]
  • mandac10mandac10
    im at an all right now... so ur telling me instead of sitting around watching tv eating a bag of chips u have a box of baking soda in front of you?! i find that very interesting... did u like eating it before you where pregnant? i wonder what ur body is after if ur craving that. ur chemicals are going crazy maybe they are speaking thai and ur misunderstanding something like box of cookies for box of baking soda??
  • Jensensmommy15Jensensmommy15
    i dont even know what baking soda taste like so i wouldnt even know i was craving it lol. maybe try........................................ um i have no idea lol
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    @mandac10 You crave what your body needs, having a pica craving is your body's way of saying your body needs some mineral. Mainly iron.
  • mandac10mandac10
    @marysue i know what a craving means :-D
  • [Deleted User][Deleted User]
    @mandac10, I was just saying that when you crave non-food things it's your body trying to make up for minerals it doesn't have enough of. :] Like craving ice to thicken you blood because of low iron.
  • marriedwith_4marriedwith_4
    @mandac10 I don't just have the box in front of me munching down. Lol, I pour it in my hand n dip my finger or put it water n dip it n da box. I eat it about 4-5x a day
    No I never ate it b4 pregnancy but I did like it for an upset stomach

    @newmamma15 its ok, I can't think of anything either. Lol

    @marysue I didn't think about getting some from sams
