I suggest you to take iron and calcium supplements along with zinc and other vitamins the condition you are suffering from is called 'Pica' usually develops in childhood and may be prolonged to adulthood as in your case, its a compulsive disorder rather than psychological so you can overcome this habit by self restraining and motivational training. Get your haemoglobin levels regularly checked and improve dietary nutrition.
