I have had the whole ice eating issue before but I was pregnant at the time . For people who arent pregnant and children eating ice constantly can be a sign of iron deficiency.I would consult a doc about the issue and try to at the very least not eay ice cubes maybe try crushed ice or like slushie ice . Ice is actually horrible for your teath , because teeth are basically bone the constant cold and harsh crunching can break them . I know from experience. I personally tried to stop eating ice but couldn't so I decided to buy the bags of ice from sonic because it wasn't as harsh to chew. I am not telling you to buy the ice from sonic I am just offering a better alternative.
