Hi there! Thanks for posting your query on Chat Doctor! Many people do have similar craving for different substances, including ice. Medically we call it Pica. Pica is generally a symptom of anemia, either iron, zinc or Vitamin deficient. I would suggest you get a complete blood checkup done, to exclude anemia. If anemia is confirmed, treatment will range from a daily dose of supplementation, to blood transfusion, depending on your levels not anemia, then the craving could be related to another condition named obsessive compulsive disorder, in which the underlying emotional factors, if any, need to be ad Chat Doctor.  Excessive ice cravings can also lead to weight fluctuations. So please do check up on that. Hope this helps.
