Pica Syndrome: is characterized by an appetite for substances largely non-nutritive, such as ice, clay, chalk, dirt, sand, or dove soap in your case. There are different variations of pica, as it can be from a cultural tradition, acquired taste or a neurological mechanism such as an iron deficiency, or chemical imbalance. Get an eval and routine labs, not usually toxic in adults, but not normal or good either.

Just see your doctor: You don't need to be eating soap. Get worked up to check for any nutritional deficiencies.

DO NOT EAT SOAP: Discuss this with your OB or get counseling if you have a fetish for soap.
