IPica

I-Pica yipatheni yokutya izinto ezingezizo zokutya, ezinjengomhlaba okanye iphepha.

IPica ibonwa ngakumbi kubantwana abancinci kunabantu abadala. Ukufikelela kwisinye kwisithathu sabantwana abaneminyaka eyi-1 ukuya kwi-6 baneendlela zokuziphatha zokutya. Akucaci ukuba bangaphi abantwana abanepica abadla ngabom ubumdaka (geophagy).

I-Pica inokwenzeka kwakhona ngexesha lokukhulelwa. Ngamanye amaxesha, ukunqongophala kwezakha mzimba ezithile, ezifana ne-iron ne-zinc, kunokubangela iminqweno engaqhelekanga. I-Pica inokwenzeka nakwabantu abadala abanqwenela ubume obuthile emlonyeni wabo.

Abantwana kunye nabantu abadala abanepica banokutya:

• Ilindle lezilwanyana
• Udongwe
• Ukungcola
• Iibhola zeenwele
• Umkhenkce
• Ipeyinti
• Isanti

Le patheni yokutya kufuneka ihlale ubuncinci kwinyanga enye ukuze ilingane nokuchongwa kwepica.

Kuxhomekeke kwinto etyiwayo kunye nokuba zingakanani, iimpawu zezinye iingxaki ezinokubakho, ezinje:

• Intlungu yesisu, isicaphucaphu, kunye nokudumba okubangelwa kukuvaleka esiswini okanye emathunjini
• Ukudinwa, iingxaki zokuziphatha, iingxaki zesikolo kunye nezinye iziphumo zetyhefu ekhokelayo okanye isondlo esibi

Akukho luvavanyo lunye lwepica. Kuba i-pica inokwenzeka kubantu abanesondlo esifanelekileyo, umboneleli wezempilo unokuvavanya amanqanaba egazi nge-iron kunye ne-zinc.

Uvavanyo lwegazi lunokwenziwa ukuvavanya i-anemia. Amanqanaba ekhokelo kufuneka ahlale ekhangelwa kubantwana ekusenokwenzeka ukuba batya ipeyinti okanye izinto ezigqunywe ngothuli lwepeyinti ekhokelayo kwiscreen setyhefu.

Umboneleli unokuvavanya nosulelo ukuba ngaba umntu ebesitya umhlaba ongcolileyo okanye inkunkuma yezilwanyana.

Unyango kufuneka kuqala lujongane nazo naziphi na izakhamzimba ezilahlekileyo okanye ezinye iingxaki zonyango, ezinje ngetyhefu yelothe.

Ukunyanga ipica kubandakanya isimilo, okusingqongileyo kunye nemfundo yosapho. Olunye uhlobo lonyango ludibanisa indlela yokuziphatha kwe-pica kunye neziphumo ezibi okanye ukohlwaywa (unyango oluthambileyo). Emva koko umntu ufumana umvuzo ngokutya ukutya okuqhelekileyo.

Amayeza anokunceda ukunciphisa indlela yokutya engaqhelekanga ukuba ipica yinxalenye yesifo esikhubazeka njengokukhubazeka kwengqondo.

Impumelelo yonyango iyahluka. Kwiimeko ezininzi, ukuphazamiseka kuhlala iinyanga ezininzi emva koko kuthi shwaka ngokwakho. Ngamanye amaxesha, inokuqhubeka ikwiminyaka yeshumi elivisayo okanye ebudaleni, ngakumbi xa isenzeka xa kukho ukukhula kwengqondo.

Iingxaki zibandakanya:

• I-Bezoar (ubunzima bezinto ezingenakunqandwa ezibanjwe ngaphakathi komzimba, ngokuqhelekileyo kwisisu)
• Usulelo

Fowunela umboneleli wakho ukuba uqaphela ukuba umntwana (okanye umntu omdala) utya izinto ezingezizo zokutya.

Akukho thintelo luthile. Ukufumana ukutya okwaneleyo kunokunceda.
