effects of human consumption of drywall?

Question:

Answers:
farting sheet rock dust

Other Answers:
Severe constipation?

Drywall is just crushed gypsum rock surrounded by paper. It shouldn't be bad. How much can one even eat?

People eat drywall? I would guess blockage.

Are you eating it?!!?

If you breathe in drywall dust for a day, you won't have any side effects. But if you work with drywall and have a respiratory problem, you need to wear a mask.

I would think one of the effects would be to get very thirsty

Depends on what's in it, exactly. If the person has pain or other symptoms thay should be evaluated by a doctor. Otherwise, I'd think the major complication would be constipation and/or blockage. Intestinal blockage is a medical emergency so the person should be monitered closely.

A person who regularly eats non-food items may have a bio-psychological disorder called pica. This includes sand, ice chips, paint and drywall. The person should certainly be evaluated by a therapist as well as by a physician, because they may be malnourished or lacking certain vitamins from not eating normal food.
