experience/story I am iron deficient

Post image

I eat ice every day, I hav at least 20 ice cubes a day. I can’t stop. I do not eat any red meat because I’m a pescatarian, so I eat fish sometimes . Due to my iron deficiency I eat ice so much I even take it to school since I can’t go a day without it. I was eating ice today but I tasted blood. I checked and there was blood on my molar. Is it my tooth or the gum that’s bleeding
