Hello Dear. Your disorder can be named as "Pica". Its a condition where patients feel like eating non nutritive substances. Its seen in anemic people and also when you have hook worm infestation. It can also occur in psychiatric disorders. Kindly consult your physician and get appropriate treatment. Treatment of the condition includes- treating you for anemia and behavioral counseling.
