It really is a long story. I'm not sure you want to hear it, but I guess I shouldn't be afraid to talk about it. (plus I'm in a stony sharey mood) It was about two years or so ago. Well...to make a long story short...I kinda had a mini-breakdown and did some things to myself I shouldn't have. (DON'T REMIND ME, I know it was dumb)

Anyway, I became severely anemic. I couldn't even walk to the kitchen without becoming exhausted and breathing hard. I could hardly walk at all because I was in a great deal of physical pain. My body was so weak. Ice was the best thing ever. I ate tons of it, just gobbled up all the ice I could. Soon, I started craving other stuff. I remember watching the Discovery Channel and seeing a bulldozer shovel dirt and sand into a pile and feeling my mouth water. Suddenly ALL I could think about was sand. Everytime I thought of it, my entire mouth woudl just react, like I wanted to eat it so bad.

I remember going to my wedding ceremony craving sand.

Not my finest hour, by a long shot.

So eventually...I got ahold of a bag of sand. I was nearly rabid with desire to eat it..the first spoonful I tried dry. I liked it, in fact the first word that popped into my head was, "Yum." But it was missing something. I moistened the sand a bit with water to make it just a bit clumpy, and then ate another spoonful. This was more like it. Then started my sand eating thing. I consumed over two bags of sand in the next six months. Even when my health was better and I didn't crave it anymore, I still ate it.

Eventually (during the most powerful trip of my life) it HIT ME what I was doing to myself, and I felt so ashamed and embarrsed. I realized I had deep grooves in my teeth where the sand had eroded my molars. I was like, "Why the FUCK are you eating sand? WTF?" Ironically, it was a dose of reality in an unreal state that prompted me to stop eating sand forever.

I also used to eat sand as a child.

As for why I ate all that gum...I really don't know. It tasted good?

That's about the oddest thing I have heard in a while. But I ate match heads as a child so I guess we all eat something weird at one point or another.

I don't think the gum will hurt you. I use to eat juicy fruit.

That's what the psych doctor who I went to see at the hospital later that same year told me.

I had one scare in my sand eating days...I was really constipated for about 2-3 days, couldn't shit for the life of me. My stomach was growing more and more in pain. I just kept thinking about all those tiny grains of sand abrasing the sensitive lining of my stomach/intestines, getting all compacted. Anyway, I was so uncomfortable. I should have gone to the doctor then, but we didn't have health insurance at the time. It really sucked, just being in pain all the time, feeling like you have to shit but can't. Finally I just gave myself several enemas and found out what sand does to excrement.

I know, TMI, but that's why I think gum has nothing on sand.

How much is "enough?" I don't think I've eaten more then the average 7 year old.

What are the warning signs I should look for? I feel okay now, the pain has receeded. (I took 2 tylenol and 2 pepto bismal)

Well, I keep having this image of the gum balled up in my intestine, blocking it and making me die.

The main thing is my teeth...I'm serious, my back molars are bowl-shaped from grinding the sand.  I didn't even grind it that hard, just brushed my teeth together over it to simulate chewing.  I've been avoiding a trip to the dentist because I'm scared of what he's going to say.  :rolleyes:  I figure I'll just tell him I chew a lot of hard candy...or something. 

As far as my innards are concerned, no I haven't noticed any ill effects, but who knows what's going on in there. 

But I don't feel like any damage was done to my guts at all with the sand eating.
