She probably has Pica. This is a condition that causes people, especially children, to eat non-food items such as dirt.

I'm not an expert so I'd check out " kidshealth.org/index.html" or just enter "Pica" on the Internet. If you go to Kidshealth check on "Parents Site" then "Nutrition & Fitness" then "Pica". It has a lot of information that might be helpful to you.

Take her to the doctor. There are meds for that. There is a type of anemia that causes this disorder. She really needs to be checked out. Also other types of difficiencies can cause it also.
