IceChewing.com is a forum for people who chew ice. The general tone on the message boards seems to be one of relief and excitement among ice chewers who are all glad to have found each other. There's a board for medical conditions, such as anemia, related to ice chewing, as well as sections for ice chewing stories and recipes. Oddly enough, I didn't see any posts about the dental injuries that are frequently caused by chewing on ice. Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.

I chew ice when I get upset, or when I'm thirsty and my water glass isn't being refilled at a restaurant.
I was recently told by someone that chewing ice is an indication of sexual frustration.
Interesting.

Ice chewing is a form of pica and as far as I know is an indication of mineral deficiencies such as iron anemia. Anemia can be caused by many medical conditions, so get yourself checked out by a doctor if ice chewing is an obsession. I found out I have celiac disease, which in turn causes vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

I too chew ice all the time and was diagnosed with Celiac disease about 2 months ago. I wonder if there is a connection?

I love to chew ice too. But I do it because I like to do it. But oddly enough, I am anemic.
Besides that, I chew ice becuase it cools me down when I'm hot, and because of the way it feels. Its nice. It "is" rather addicting.
Sometimes when I get sick and have a high fever, I start chew on ice to bring down my tempreture. It mostly works for me but I also don't recommend it. It might just get worse.
And I am also very sexualy fraustrated most of the time. Obviously sex is not frequent with me. Maybe I need to go to a S.A.A meeting. (Sex Addicts Anonymous).
