Hello user,
As per your history, you want to get rid of your pica habit, and also you have a bad menstrual history, and you have a complete family too.

You are hereby advised to have a proper vitamin and minerals rich diet, as pica is seen in Iron and other mineral deficient women. Also heavy bleeding of yours causes blood loss which leads to Iron and other vitamin deficiency.

You are also hereby advised to visit to nearby Gynecologist to have your gynecological problem resolved, which will automatically cure the pica habit.

Hope my advise helped you.
Regards
