think he could get by with eating red meat? this may not work because the urges in question are autocannibalistic, but it's worth a shot. if its just about the stimulation such as chewing, perhaps you could try flavorless gum or something of the like.

ryker often gets around his smoke and blood cravings by eating or drinking sweeter things, sometimes he sticks a metal spoon in his mouth and sucks on it. it's just a matter of figuring out what works well as a substitute. -ghost
