[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 465820, member: 1233"] in my opinion it was a smart and logical consequence for the problem. Has he been checked recently for any and all deficiencies - vitamin, mineral, etc...? Get the doctor to run all of these tests you can. This sounds a LOT like pica, a compulsion to eat non-food items. While not always caused by a mineral or vitamin deficiency, that is the easiest cause to treat. Given his metabolic issues, it seems like a likely cause and one that might help actually solve the problem rather than just prevent him from keeping the items. At least solve the part that has him putting them in his mouth. Although some kids just mouth everything - thank you was AWFUL about mouthing, would have licked every shelf in the grocery if I didn't keep having fits about it (major eeeeuuuuuwww factor for me, having taken sanitation class in college!)
