Lizzie Foster can’t stop snacking on talcum powder and goes goes through a 500g tub every week
She first began to experience the bizarre craving during her pregnancy with her first child Ruby.

The 25-year-old said: “I loved the smell of it and thought, ‘I wonder if it tastes good.’

“I thought it was an odd craving to have, and I was a bit freaked out at first, but I poured some on my palm and I liked it.

“It tasted soapy and I kept on eating it. I think I was lacking something in my food, which I got from the powder.

“They say cravings during pregnancy are to do with a vitamin D or iron deficiency.

“I didn’t worry about if the powder would harm my baby when I was pregnant with Ruby. I was young and naive.”
The mum-of-two with her husband Dan couldn’t keep her addiction a secret from her family
But after the birth of her daughter, now eight-year-old, she continued to devour it and now gets through a 500g tub every week costing her an eye-watering £800 to date.

She even used it on her daughter after bathing or changing her, before shaking some into her palm and eating it.

Over the course of her addiction, Lizzie, who works as a cleaner, has consumed over 400 containers, which adds up to around 200,000 grams of powder – almost a quarter of a tonne.

this is a case of PICA, and its due to iron deficiency most likely, because pregnancy is a very common cause of iron deficiency due to increase demand. she should take enough iron
