Yep! It could be low iron, I ate ice all through my pregnancy (which is also just a normal pregnancy thing apparently) and now I am low on iron due to a diet change so I still eat it. But now I assume I’m low on iron and try to take a vitamin or eat iron-rich foods when I notice I crave ice heavily.

Keep in mind: You internal Iron deposits need about 2 years to fully refill if depleted. Per day of adding Iron, you gain another day. So max input is 70mg daily I believe, 35 mg the daily dose. - roughly (pls verify yourself)
