Yes, I crave Clorox Bleach, Comet w/bleach, Pine Sol, or laundry detergent all the time. I am not pregnant, but I do have an Iron deficiency. I am glade to find out that I am not the only one having these strange cravings. :-) I thought something serious was wrong with me, but now I am thinking it's a chemical imbalance.

As of today I have wanted pickles, pickled okra, and I had them put lime juice on a burrito I custom created at a restaurant here. Certain things disgust me that I used to love though, can't stand sugar.

I can't get enough lemonade, spaghetti or sauerkraut. These are not usually a big part of my diet normally. Now I can't get enough!!!

I want to huff gasoline all day long. I dont do it, but i daydream about doing it. Instead i will sniff noxema all day long, i dont think noxema is toxic. I hope not. I also love the smell of rubber tires. I would like to eat one. I had this with my last pregnancy too. My dr is going to check to see if maybe im anemic.

My first pregnancy was a boy and I craved salt (big deli pickles, olives). Then it was orange juice, I had to have it every morning. Then it was anything with syrup on it. This time I am having a girl and all though in the beginning I wanted salt, I now want sweets more than ever. I am also relieved to hear that my constant ice eating is not unusual. I also love eating sourdough hard pretzels (maybe a substitute for ice). I also want donuts, bagels with cream cheese and anything with cheese on it. I have a strong sense of smell but not as intense as some with the need to smell cleaning products which is interesting.
