IGeophagia, umkhuba wokudla ukungcola, ubukhona emhlabeni wonke kuwo wonke umlando. Abantu abane-pica, inkinga yokudla abalangazelela futhi badle izinto ezingezona zokudla, bavame ukudla ukungcola.

Abanye abantu abanesifo segazi nabo badla ukungcola, njengoba kwenza abanye besifazane abakhulelwe emhlabeni jikelele. Eqinisweni, abesifazane abaningi abakhulelwe bavame ukuhalela ukungcola, mhlawumbe ngenxa yokuvikelwa okungaba khona ukungcola okunganikeza ubuthi nezinye izimuncagazi, ngokusho kocwaningo.

Yize abantu abaningi bexhumanisa i-geophagia nezinzuzo eziningi zezempilo, futhi kuhlotshaniswa nobubanzi bezinkinga zezempilo. Ukudla ukungcola, ikakhulukazi isikhathi eside, kungakhuphula ubungozi ezinkingeni eziningi, kufaka phakathi:

• izimuncagazi
• ubuthi bensimbi esindayo
• i-hyperkalemia
• izinkinga zamathumbu

Lapha, sizochaza i-geophagia ngokuningiliziwe, sihlanganise izizathu ezingenzeka ngemuva kwayo futhi sinikeze ngamathiphu wokuthi ungakuyeka kanjani ukungcola.

Kungani

Izifiso zokungcola zingakhula ngezizathu ezahlukahlukene.

I-Pica

Uma une-pica, inkinga yokudla lapho ufisa khona izinto ezahlukahlukene ezingezona zokudla, ungahle ube nesifiso sokudla ukungcola. Okunye ukufisa okuvamile kwe-pica kufaka:

• amatshe amancane
• ubumba
• umlotha
• indwangu
• iphepha
• ushoki
• izinwele

I-Pagophagia, ukudla okuqhubekayo kweqhwa noma ukulangazelela iqhwa, nakho kungaba uphawu lwe-pica. I-Pica imvamisa ngeke itholakale ezinganeni, njengoba izingane eziningi zidla ukungcola lapho zisencane futhi ziyeke zodwa.

I-Pica ingahlangana nezimo ezifana ne-trichotillomania noma i-schizophrenia, kepha ayihlanganisi ngaso sonke isikhathi ukuxilongwa kwezempilo yengqondo okuhlukile.

Yize i-pica ingaqondakali kahle, iphakamisa ukuthi ingavela njengempendulo ekusweleni kwezakhi.

Kwezinye izimo, izifiso ze-pica zingaphela uma usudla insimbi eyanele noma ezinye izakhi zomzimba ezingekho. Uma ukuthola izakhamzimba ezidingekayo kungasizi, ukwelashwa kungasiza ekubhekaneni ne-pica nokunye ukukhathazeka okuyisisekelo.

IGeophagia

Ukudla ukungcola njengengxenye yesiko, noma ngoba abanye abantu emndenini wakho noma emphakathini nabo badla ukungcola, kwehlukile kwi-pica. Kulesi sibonelo, kunesizathu esicacile sokudla ukungcola.

Isibonelo, abanye bakholelwa ukuthi ukudla ukungcola noma ubumba kunga:

• siza ukuthuthukisa izingqinamba zesisu
• thambisa isikhumba noma shintsha ithoni yesikhumba
• nikeza izinzuzo zokuzivikela ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa
• ukuvimbela noma ukwelapha ukugula ngokumunca ubuthi

Umlando

UHippocrates wayengowokuqala ukuchaza i-geophagia. Eminye imibhalo yokuqala yezokwelapha ibalula umkhuba wokudla umhlaba ukusiza izinkathazo zesisu kanye nokuqaqamba kokuya esikhathini.

Imibhalo yezokwelapha yaseYurophu yekhulu le-16 nele-17 ikhuluma nge-geophagia eyabonakala ivela nge-chlorosis, noma “ukugula okuluhlaza,” uhlobo lwe-anemia. Kuwo wonke umlando, i-geophagia iye yaphawulwa ukuthi yenzeka kakhulu kwabesifazane abakhulelwe noma ngezikhathi zendlala.

Isethulo samanje

IGeophagia isenzeka emhlabeni wonke, noma kwenzeka kaningi ezindaweni ezishisayo. Kungaba okuhlobene nokugula okubangelwa ukudla, okuvamile kulezi zimo zezulu.

Ubumba lungasiza ukumunca ubuthi, ngakho-ke abaningi basekela ukudla komhlaba njengendlela yokuqeda izingqinamba zesisu, njengokudla okunoshevu.

Yize i-geophagia ingahle ingaqali njengokukhathazeka ngempilo yengqondo, ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, ukudla ukungcola kungafana nokulutha. Abanye abantu babika ukuthi bakuthola kunzima ukuyeka, noma ngabe sebeqale ukuba nezinkinga zempilo ezihambisana nokudla ukungcola.

Abanye bangasebenzisa imali futhi bahambe amabanga amade ukuthola ubumba noma inhlabathi abayithandayo. Ukungakwazi ukuthola noma ukuthenga uhlobo oluthile lomhlabathi noma ubumba nakho kungaholela ekucindezelekeni.

Izingozi

Ukudla ukungcola kungahle kungalimazi njalo, kepha kungaba nomthelela ezinkingeni eziningi zezempilo. Uma udla kakhulu ukungcola, maningi amathuba okuthi ube nemiphumela engemihle nokugula.

Ukushoda kwegazi

Ukufisa ukungcola kungahle kubonise i-anemia, kepha ukudla ukungcola ngeke kuzenze ngcono izimpawu zakho. Kubalulekile ukukhuluma nodokotela futhi kuhlolwe igazi lakho ukuze uthole izithako zokudla okunempilo.

Olunye ucwaningo luphakamisa ukuthi i-geophagy ingaphazamisa ikhono lakho lokugaya izakhi zomzimba ezidingekayo, ngoba ubumba esiswini sakho lungahlangana nensimbi, i-zinc, nezinye izakhamzimba. Ngamanye amagama, ukudla ukungcola kungakhuphula ubungozi be-anemia.

Izimuncagazi, amagciwane, nezinsimbi ezisindayo

Ukudla ukungcola kungakuchaya kuma-parasites, ama-bacteria, nezinsimbi ezinzima ezinobuthi. Ukungcola okuqukethe i-potassium eningi kungaholela ku-potassium ephakeme yegazi, kukhulise ubungozi bakho be-arrhythmia yenhliziyo noma ukuboshwa kwenhliziyo.

Ukuqunjelwa

Ukuqunjelwa kungumphumela ojwayelekile wokusetshenziswa kwenhlabathi. Ukuvinjelwa noma ukugcotshwa kwamathumbu kungenzeka, yize le miphumela emibi ingafani kangako.

Izinkinga zokukhulelwa

Abesifazane abaningi abakhulelwe banxanela ukungcola noma ubumba. Ochwepheshe abakasitholi isizathu esicacile sokuthi kungani lokhu kwenzeka.

ixhumanisa izifiso ze-pica nokushoda kwensimbi. iphakamisa ukuthi lezi zifiso zikhula njengempendulo eguquguqukayo endleleni amasosha omzimba ashintsha ngayo ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa.

Izinguquko ekusebenzeni kwamasosha omzimba zingakhuphula kancane ubungozi bokuthintwa ubuthi nokugula okubangelwa ukudla, njenge-listeria. Kepha izifundo eziningi zezilwane ziphakamise ukuthi ukusetshenziswa kobumba kunikeza ukuvikelwa ebangeni lobuthi.

Noma ngabe yini imbangela yezifiso zokungcola ngesikhathi sokukhulelwa, ukudla ukungcola kungadala izingozi zezempilo hhayi kuwe kuphela, kepha nakwimbungu ekhulayo.

Noma ngabe ukungcola okudlayo kungenabo ubuthi futhi kubhakwe noma kwalungiswa ngokuphepha, kusengabopha esiswini sakho izakhamzimba ozithola kweminye imithombo, kuvimbele umzimba wakho ekumungeni kahle. Lokhu kungabeka impilo yakho engcupheni.

Zikhona izinzuzo?

Kuncwaningo oluncane kakhulu olusekela izinzuzo zokudla ukungcola kwabantu.

• Ukubuyekezwa kwe-geophagy ngo-2011 kubantu abangama-482 nezilwane ezingama-297 kutholakale ubufakazi obukhombisa ukuthi kungani abantu bedla ukungcola ukuthi inhlabathi ingavikela ubuthi. Kepha ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka ukuxhasa lo mbono.
• Izilwane zivame ukudla ukungcola noma ubumba uma ziba nohudo, isisu, noma zidle izithelo ezinobuthi. I-Bismuth subsalicylate (Kaopectate), umuthi owelapha isifo sohudo, unezimbiwa zokwakheka okufana nalokho, noma uhlobo lobumba abanye abantu abaludla ngenhloso efanayo. Ngakho-ke ukudla inhlabathi kunganciphisa uhudo. Kungadala nokuqunjelwa kanye nokunye ukukhathazeka uma ukungcola okudlayo kuqukethe amagciwane noma izimuncagazi.
• Abesifazane abaningi abakhulelwe emhlabeni wonke badla ukungcola ukusiza ukunciphisa izimpawu zokugula kwasekuseni, ngokusho kuka. Amasiko amaningana awusekela lo mkhuba njengekhambi lesintu, kepha lezi zinzuzo ngokuyinhloko ziyi-anecdotal futhi azikafakazelwa ngokuphelele.
• Ubufakazi besayensi obusekela ezinye izinzuzo ze-anecdotal zokudla ukungcola, okufana nebala elincane noma isikhumba esibushelelezi, abukabi bikho.

Ochwepheshe baphawule izingozi eziningi ezihambisana nokudla ukungcola, ngakho-ke ngokuvamile, izingozi zokudla ukungcola zingabonakala kakhulu kunanoma iyiphi inzuzo engaba khona, ikakhulukazi uma ukhulelwe.

Uma ukhathazekile ngokushoda kokudla, uhudo, ukugula kwasekuseni, noma okunye ukukhathazeka ngempilo, kuwumqondo omuhle ukukhuluma nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo.

Ungamisa kanjani

Uma ufuna ukuyeka ukudla ukungcola, noma izifiso zakho zikukhathaze futhi zibangele ukucindezeleka, lezi zeluleko zingasiza:

• Khuluma nomngane omethembayo noma ilungu lomndeni. Uma utshela umuntu omethembayo ngezifiso zakho, angakwazi ukukunika ukusekelwa futhi akusize akuphazamise uma unenkinga yokugwema ukungcola uwedwa.
• Hlafuna noma udle ukudla okufana nombala nokuthungwa. Amakhukhi agayiwe kahle, okusanhlamvu, noma ama-crackers angasiza ekunciphiseni izifiso zakho. Ukuhlafuna noma ukumunca uswidi onzima nakho kungasiza ekufiseni i-pica.
• Khuluma nomelaphi. Uma ungaqiniseki ukuthi kungani unxanela ukungcola, umelaphi angakusiza ukubhekana nezifiso nokuhlola izindlela zokuziphatha ezingakusiza ukuthi ugweme ukudla ukungcola.
• Bona umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo. Ungahle ufune ukudla ukungcola ngoba awutholi izakhamzimba ezifanele. Uma unakho noma ikuphi ukushoda kwezakhi, udokotela wakho angakusiza ukulungisa lokhu kungalingani. Uma uthola amavithamini anele owadingayo, izifiso zingaphela.
• Sebenzisa ukuqinisa okuhle. Uhlelo lwemivuzo ngokungadli ukungcola nakho kungasiza abanye abantu ababhekene nezifiso ze-pica. Ukuvuzwa ngokukhetha into yokudla kungasiza ekunciphiseni isifiso sakho sokudla ukungcola.

Ukubonana nodokotela nini

Ukucwaswa okuzungeze ukudla ukungcola kungadala isithiyo lapho ufuna ukwelashwa.

Ungakhathazeka ngokuthi ungasisho kanjani isihloko kumhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo. Kepha uma udle ukungcola futhi unezinkinga ngokuvezwa ubuthi, izimuncagazi, noma izinsimbi ezisindayo, kungcono ukuxoxa nochwepheshe. Ngaphandle kokwelashwa, lezi zinkinga zingaba zimbi kakhulu.

Uma unezimpawu ezintsha noma eziphathelene nezempilo futhi udle ukungcola, ungahle uthande ukukhuluma nodokotela wakho. Izimpawu okufanele uziqaphele zifaka:

• ukunyakaza okubuhlungu noma okunegazi
• ukuqunjelwa
• isifo sohudo
• isicanucanu esingaqondakali nokuhlanza
• ukuphelelwa umoya
• ukuqina esifubeni sakho
• ukukhathala, ukuthuthumela, noma ubuthakathaka
• umuzwa ojwayelekile wokuzizwa ungaphilile

Kungenzeka ukuthi uthole i-tetanus ekudleni ukungcola. I-tetanus ingasongela impilo, ngakho-ke bheka udokotela ngokushesha uma uhlangabezana:

• ukunyathela emhlathini wakho
• ukungezwani kwemisipha, ukuqina, nokuqaqamba kwemisipha, ikakhulukazi esiswini sakho
• ubuhlungu bekhanda
• imfiva
• ukujuluka okwandayo

Ukufisa ukungcola akuchazi ukukhathazeka ngempilo yengqondo, kepha ukwelashwa kuhlala kuyindawo ephephile yokukhuluma ngezifiso nokuthi ungazibhekana kanjani nazo.

Ukwelashwa kungakusiza nokuthi usebenze ngokuziphatha okuluthayo, ngakho-ke uma ukuthola kunzima ukuyeka ukudla ukungcola, noma ucabanga kaningi ngokudla ukungcola, umelaphi angakusiza futhi akusize ufunde ukuthi ungabhekana kanjani nale micabango.

Okubalulekile

Ukufisa ukungcola akujwayelekile, ngakho-ke zama ukungakhathazeki uma uhlangabezana nakho. Abantu badla ukungcola ngezizathu eziningi, noma njengokujwayela amasiko, ukukhulula izingqinamba zesisu, noma ukumunca ubuthi.

Kubalulekile ukucabangela izingozi ezingaba khona eze nokudla ukungcola. Amanye amakhambi angasiza ekunciphiseni ukucindezeleka kwesisu ngokuphepha ngaphandle kwengozi yoku:

• ukwanda kwezinkinga zamathumbu
• izimuncagazi
• ukutheleleka

Uma izifiso zakho zihlobene nokushoda kwezakhi, umhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwempilo angakunikeza izithako zokulungisa lokhu kungalingani. Uma ufuna ukuyeka ukudla ukungcola, umhlinzeki wezokunakekelwa kwempilo noma umelaphi anganikeza ukusekelwa nokuholwa.
