I've tried that white dirt but I just don't like the taste. I trying to find the clay that I used to dig up in mississippi. That had that earthy sour taste to it. That white dirt taste like nothing. Is there anything i could do to it to make it taste better? I have been ordering pure kaolin clay baby powder and wetting it and baking it and that came more closer to the kind I used to eat from mississippi. It is a little darker in colour.

Hi Swabbi, how are u? Well you could try mixing the DE with the kaolin clay and baking that. That mix tastes nicer than just the clay. I have been off it for a while - until yesterday when I ate a load. But be warned - when you eat loads like I do you may break out in spots:-(

Need clay badly,nzu preferrably but anything would do.stay in wales,united kingdom.Anyone with some information should please reach me on cynthia_kaykay@yahoo.com.Thank you

Lol Linda. I ate calabar chalk in Cameroon since I was 3 years old, especially the scraped clean ones. I ate it for 14 years then the craving went away. Now am 24, pregnant with twins and its back. U say its not in london?? Well it is coz i just got some posted to me by my sister. She got it from Woolich Arsenal. The only cameroonian shop there. Ask anyone for directions and ya sure u get urself loads of calabar

Please my advice to you is try to stop dear rather than seeking the best type of chalk to eat. I know its easier said than done, but trust me you don't want no longterm side effects.

I ate chalk, mud, clay, white powder, cement, a type of rock dug from within the earth and would normally stand under the rain to sniff the earth for 14years. Now I have been tackling a condition known as hypercalcaemia for 2 years now and the side effects have not been easy; nausea, vomitting, abdominal pains, headaches, and if the condition persists, kidney failure, coma then death.

Please try to stop.

My mother fount my chalk an ask if I eat it an I had to lie. I hate this chalk clay eating. It make me want to go back to cornstarch she never knew I was eating it.

That so convenient that you can go to your local gas station and pick up clay whenever you need it.

There is a gas station I used to get clay from until an employee asked me if I was eating the clay. I was so embarrassed and told him I only use it as facial mask, which was half a lie... I mostly consume the clay.

I prefer buying online it can be a better bargain and a bit more discreet.

From where online do you order? Some clay tends to be gritty and I like the smooth kind...

I also order from muttandjeff so I'm waiting too... lol.

I have found no other reasonable seller online. I tried both whitedirtga.com and whitedirt.com and for both sites the quality seems to be no better or worse than muttandjeff just extremely overpriced.

I would say if you can't wait on muttandjeff go with the site whitedirtga.com . They are still expensive but you can get I think a 20lb box ("$48") for what eventually adds up to 60 bucks including the tax and shipping. However, if you think about it and wait on muttandjeff that could be a 50lb box of white dirt shippping and all..

Here are some sellers bags with their numbers. If anyone is interested you can try to contact them and buy a case or try and convince them all to make websites lol... Granny's own is the type I used to get at the gas station. That company's clay is always smooth and in the perfect bite size pieces... If only they had a website... If any of you guys do contact them and make a purchase can you tell me the process and how it went plz?

Granny's own white dirt is my favorite... I tried to contact the vendor yesterday to buy a case but didn't get an answer also the store that sells Granny's dirt say that it is hard to get in contact with them:( Wish they had a website also...

I found another website delicious white dirt.com ...you get 10lbs for $30 but I haven't ordered yet so not sure if it's the good stuff or not...

Any one eating clay from Mavu seller,is it tasty?
