- We all have that one comfort food that we can't resist. But while most of us might reach for a bar of chocolate or a glass of wine after a tough day - our next guest prefers the taste of BRICKS. Patrice Benjamin-Ramgoolam can eat around 6 TABLESPOONS of brick a day, after getting hooked on the 'chalky' taste when she was a teenager. A decade since she was last on the show, she’s joining us alongside expert Dr Elizabeth Shea to unpack the unusual addiction.

I had the same thing, but I was diagnosed with severe anemia and iron deficiency and after taking iron tablets my craving for eating rocks went away.
I’m surprised her doctor hasn’t done this. To me it seems clear that craving for earth etc needs to be checked for iron deficiency first
@@yfoogat 3:58 she mentions how her GP gave her iron pills but it didn’t work and the craving continued
😂
Did you watch the video? He has done this haha @yfoog
These types of unusual cravings…. Stem from severe nutritional deficiencies…… her body is screaming for minerals…..& it manifests in wanting to eat strange things like this.
I had pica as well. My thing was pumice stones and I went to therapy and found out I was doing it because I used to watch my mum do her feet with them in the bath and it was a comfort thing because I’m not close with her anymore (family troubles) and I want to be. It was a substitution for love from her.
Eating bricks from her family members homes could be the same thing, wanted them to be a part of her life or more than they already are.
Weird.
Where’s your house gone? I ate it!
😁😁😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
The mind is mysterious and strange... everyone is very different... hope she can stop this behaviour ❤
Just thank God that people don't drink human blood to replenish iron.....
sh*t a brick 😂
😂😂😂
How are her teeth still in one piece? Polo's take mine out 😅
I was addicted to eating tissue so badly and had pica because of the texture of it. One day I decided that I didn't want to so I stopped but I still have cravings for it.
I remember eating tissue - You just jolted that memory in me. I don’t have cravings but remember it being a bit of a habit
My youngest daughter used to chew on the edge of our living room walls when she was teething - we used to pick her up and move her away. She didn't do it after her teeth grew in thankfully.
It can't be that bad she's been eating it for 10 years and is still alive
But what damage does that do to your internal organs??? STONE!!!
How are her teeth still intact?😬😬😬
I went through pregnancy cravings with my sisters first child, i was secretly eating talcum powder and dry oats. It was only later that I realized my sister was having these cravings during her pregnancy.
I love the way there taking it seriously like really hahahah
Should that not be, "woman with a rare eating disorder addicted to eating bricks" The way it's written it reads as if she is addicted to eating bricks with a rare disorders.
What rare disorder do the bricks have? I hope they have a good support system in place - a good foundation for healing.
Bricks with salt and pepper lovely.
another one bites the dust 😂
Not gonna lie if I ever had her for a host on come dine with me I wouldn't be turning up
worse things to be addicted to I guess
What happens if she walks past a building site???
@@jony6185 if you watched the video you would find out, can you not manage the attention span required to watch a 5 min video???????
😄😄🤩
Nah. I prefer reading the comments and paying 0 attention to the video. @@melaniabladeofmiquella
3:16 theres some good tasting walls out the
Well I would look towards Childhood SA for a start .
Six table spoons of brick
This world is so far gone 😂😂😂
Bless her she will stop
Imagine her stomach.
I watched a tv program a woman was eating toilet paper
Theres an african sweet that looks like a rock and is full of magnesium, it is supposed to be good for women.
How does she still have teeth.
Not normal how weird some people get
This caption is terrible!
not great ben & cat are so judgemental asking her questions in a condesending tone
Is that not called
Being pregnant 😂
a lot of pregnant women become iron deficient and anaemic which can cause these cravings.
Burnt toast syndrome
She clearly manages normal food as well.... don't think there are many calories in bricks. A-hem
So weird
They say brick, but it appears she is scraping drywall?? Either way, this is not cute. She needs an exorcism.
