Cindy's behavior is an example of pica, a condition in which a person craves and eats non-food items such as clay, dirt, or ice. Pica is often seen in pregnant women and may be related to iron deficiency anemia. Edema and eclampsia are both medical conditions related to high blood pressure and are not related to eating clay. "Claymonia" is not a recognized medical condition.
