A member asked:

What does it mean if you start craving ice? an does ice water help stomach aches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anemia?: Craving ice, known as pica, might be a symptom of iron deficiency anemia. Other signs or symptoms of anemia might be skin pallor, feeling tired or lethargic, and feeling cold. I suggest you see your doctor.
