Hello,
As per my clinical experience, there can be various outcomes when eating chalk pieces on regular basis:
- Binge eating disorder with particular craving, in absence of intake, you feel nervous and irritable
- Nausea, vomiting, constipation
- Irregular digestion
- Calcium disorders
- Increased calcium absorption with calcium stone formation
- Coughing, shortness of breath as respiratory ill effects
It is strongly recommended to consult an expert physician for the management plan and guidelines to QUIT this eating habit, as early as possible before systemic damage happens.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
