If you are craving raw corn starch, you may have pica, which is an eating disorder where you crave things that are not normally eaten, such as dirt, ice, or in your case, corn starch. This is often triggered by either stress or a nutrient deficiency. Take some multivitamins or supplements, and try to eat more nutrient-rich foods. Also, try to de-stress yourself by taking time to relax or removing yourself from situation that agitate you when possible.

Does cornstarch make you gain weight?
Hi, I dont think eating laundry starch will cause you to gain weight, unless it's gaining weight in the bloated sense. Because you're consumming laudry starch, its most likely not a good idea because of the chemicals in the starch and of the reaction these chemicals can cause to your abdomonen and gullet. I would sincerly stop eating starch. Have you seen your doctor, therapist of a psychiatrist about this? If not, then please see your doctor who can help you to stop eating laundry starch. Take care. **This may or may not cause you to gain weight, but it is a sign of a serious iron or zinc deficiency, which can be caused by anemia. Your Dr. needs to treat you for that and you will stop having the craving to eat the laundry starch. But, don't let your Dr. stop there, they need find the cause of the anemia. A link has been found between the craving for things such as the laundry starch, the deficiency in iron/zinc, and anemia, and cancer of the colon and some other cancers. Please set up an appt. with your Dr. and then you won't need to worry about the weight issue, you won't need the laundry starch, you will be getting the correct minerals in your diet.**

How do you stop an ice cream craving?
On an episode of Dr.Oz he said eat frozen peanut butter to stop the craving. Alternate answer: Have some ice cream. This is not always the way to go depending on if you are diabetic or have other issues with the sugar or milk in ice cream but sometimes when you are craving something for quite a while, your body is trying to tell you something. It's trying to tell you that it needs a nutrient or nutrients found in whatever it is that you are craving. Most of the time, once you eat what you are craving then the craving is satisfied. Obviously if you've already eaten a pint of ice cream and you're still craving it you need to find something else to stop the craving.
Who else craves cornstarch?
I USED to!!! For years I've eaten corn starch; I saw my aunt do it when I was like 10 or 11. I started eating it here and there. But then it became an addiction all the way up to 24. I would buy a box every week. I've read that this is called PICA- a craving to eat clay, cigarrette butts, chalk, paint on the wall, laundry starch, corn starch, etc. Pica is also associated with Anemia, which I have. Talk to your doctor about....trust me....it'll get worse.
If you are addicted to eating Johnson pure corn starch baby powder and now you are pregnant is it harmful to the baby and you?
I am not sure why anyone would eat corn starch, although there is a condition associated with pregnancy called Pica. Pica is the strange cravings that some women get during pregnancy. Women have been know to eat certain foods such as pickles and ice cream, but also clay, cigarette butts, and ice. Stop eating the starch and discuss it with you OB doctor.
