HI
Thank for asking to HCM
This could be sign of some intestinal infection, and this need to be treated with the antiprotozoal drug, and this will come around with this treatment, one strong possibility of geophagia but this is strongly age related happens between the age of 3 to 12 years of age more common in female, take care have nice day.
