Hello Doctor, We Have Recently Moved Into Our New House
Hello doctor,
We have recently moved into our new house and theres some building work going on. There are exposed walls and plaster boards. Every time I enter the house, I experience a deep craving for picking through the plaster board and eating the chalky/limestone kind of material.
I have got into a habit of nibbling through tiny bits of this material on a daily basis. I find that it's very addictive, but I'm getting worried of the side effects it may have.
Could these be a deficiency of some kind? Please could you advise?
Regards,
Sneha
