Title: Girl Addicted to eating Soap!!
Post by: Kudrat Kaur on February 09, 2011, 10:18:51 PM
 A bizarre compulsion...

 It's the toxic compulsion that doctors claim could kill her.
But this 19-year-old US girl claims she is hopelessly addicted... to eating soap.
A rare medical condition has left Tempestt Henderson, from Florida, eating up to five bars of soap a week - and washing powder too.

'I love the clean feeling it gives me. Eating soap feels so much cleaner than just washing with it.'
After six months of eating soap, unhappy Tempestt decided to be brave and seek medical advice. She was diagnosed with a rare disorder called PICA, which doctors told her is characterised by an appetite for substances that are largely non-nutritive.
Sufferers have been known to compulsively eat metal, coins, chalk, batteries and even toothbrushes. It can often be caused by a mineral deficiency, which explains why pregnant women often crave eating coal when needing iron.
But in Tempestt’s case doctors believed the condition was bought on by stress.
'Things got really stressful for me when my boyfriend, Jason, split up with me and left for college,' she admitted.

Agree.

Soap isn't that bad, there are worse cases of pica.

I wouldn't call it a disease, it's a disorder. Usually, some type of deficiency in an individual is the root cause, replacing the deficiency should be the treatment. Sometimes, it can be linked to an obsessive compulsive disorder - little bit more trickier to treat. In this case some type of behavioral therapy would probably help.
