Question:


Answers:
You are describing a psychiatric condition called "Pica". Eating substances such as cotton and bits of old towels have resulted in blockage of the digestive tract requiring surgery. You should talk to your medical doctor and get a referral to a psychiatrist, since proper treatment should be helpful to you.
You may cause yourself to have a bowel obstruction. Stop doing this. Try bits of bread.
