iron and pica

MrsMackenzie2010

My son eats dirt, flowers, leaves, paper, sticks, etc. to the point where he's ingesting them sometimes if we don't intervene. Dr tested his blood and said his iron was low, but not anemic. Said a daily vitamin should help. Anyone deal with this? How long before it helps? Or is it behavioral? What have you done?

Ingesting things can also be sensory.  If adding iron doesn't help I would look into that.
