She can get an iron deficiency anemia as these may prevent iron getting into blood stream as well as hypokalemia. There are specific diseases that drive folks to do this. Have her discuss with medical team. Some patients tell me some clay tastes better than others but I never checked them out. She needs to discuss with her Dr. If she does not have one she needs to get one.
