What kind of clay do you eat? I eat white dirt (kaolin) and I have never experience itching. Maybe the clay is taking toxins out of your system and it comes out through your pores. Does this happen every time you eat clay.

Where do you get it from? I eat kaolin as well and have not experience that. Yes it taste good when you get a good piece that is earthy in taste.

I get it from http://www.sunclaytherapy.com/product_claybox...
It comes in powder form but I make chunks out of it and bake it. It is really good. I love the smell of it when I wet it.

Do you think maybe its how you bake it. Take a look at that. Also does it bother you when you eat it w/o baking it. Maybe you have an allergy to something in the clay. Please be careful that you are not harming yrslf with it. Sometimes clay will absorb the metal flavor jog what it is baked on . Try clay from somewhere else if it dies not bother you then it us the clay from that company. I know you like it but give it ago.
Everybody has their favorite clay.

I had bought some clay and I did not like it . Someone told me to eat it for a.couple days and I tell you it was.oh so good.

I love how u are so open i would never have been able to eat corn starch in front of people without feeling like everyone is looking at me crazy.

I also lovee... Eating clay but its really dangerous for health like knee pain or back pain plz dont eat too much..plz

I am not ashamed at all.....I don't hide it....I ate the entire container that I packed.

I got it from Sams online. I used to buy from mutt and Jeff it was much cheaper but they do not seem to carry it anymore even though it is on their site. I do not have any now but I plan to treat myself soon. I like to break it into little pieces and just put it in my mouth and crunch it up. Mutt had better pieces. Sams had a few here and there.

I use to order from Sam's but like u said a few good pieces here and there. That's another reason I went to cornstarch. Some of the clay was very smooth and others were gritty(yuck).

I tried sams before. I didn't like the taste. I am taking a trip to georgia in august. Maybe I can try to dig up some fresh clay when i am there. I miss that mississippi clay. that was what I grew up on. that was so good.
