UK woman suffering from 'Pica' addicted to eating cement, bricks

Pica is a rare eating disorder known for its compulsive consumption of non-food items. In one such case, Patrice Benjamin Ramgoolam, 39, developed an addiction to eating cement and bricks. Ramgoolam's unusual addiction began when she was 18. Unlike most people who turn to food for comfort, Patrice found solace in the gritty texture and taste of bricks and cement.
