Wali olabye omwana wo omuto ng’ateeka ekintu mu kamwa ke, ng’akazannyo, akavundu akatono oba akakoola? Abaana abato baagala nnyo okumanya era bayiga ebikwata ku nsi nga bateeka ebintu mu kamwa. Kya bulijjo. Kyokka waliwo abaana abamu abalya buli kiseera ebintu ebitasaana kulya. Embeera eno tugiyita (Pica) mu sayansi w’obusawo. Kino kintu kya kweraliikirirako katono, kubanga oluusi kino kiyinza okuleeta ebizibu by’obulamu eby’enjawulo eri omwana.

Bubonero ki obulaga obulwadde bwa Pica? Ddala omwana alya ki?

Abaana abalina pica balina obwagazi obutali bwa bulijjo okulya ebintu ebitasaana kulya. Okugeza abaana abamu balya ebintu nga:

Ettaka, ebbumba
Amayinja amanene
Olupapula
Ebikuta bya ice (mu bungi) .
Ekkalaamu eza langi, emiggo gya ssoka
Enviiri zo zokka
Siiga ebikuta ku bisenge
Poop (yes, oluusi nange nkemebwa okulya ebintu ebyo)

Kino oyinza okwewuunya okuwulira, naye eno mbeera ya ddala eyinza okutuuka ku baana. Ekikulu kwe kutegeera nti kino si kintu omwana ky’akola mu bugenderevu.

Bizibu ki eby’obulamu ebiyinza okuva ku Pica?

Ebizibu by’obulamu bisalibwawo omwana by’alya. Mu ngeri ennyangu, obuzibu bubaawo ng’ekintu ekitasaana kulya kiyingidde mu mubiri.

Iron- deficiency anemia : Abaana abamu bwe balya ebintu ng’ettaka, kiyinza okutaataaganya obusobozi bw’omubiri okunyiga ekyuma . Kino kiyinza okuvaako okukendeera kw’omusaayi, embeera mwe babulwa omusaayi .
Obutwa bw’omusulo : Kino kintu kya bulabe nnyo. Ebika bya langi ebimu ebyakozesebwanga emabega biyinza okubaamu omusulo. Kale singa omwana alya ebitundu bya langi okuva mu bisenge eby’edda bwe bityo, omusulo ogwo gusobola okuyingira mu mubiri (obutwa bw’omusulo) . Kino kya bulabe nnyo ku nkula y’obwongo bw’omwana n’obusimu.
Okuziyira oba ekiddukano : Bw’olya ebintu ng’enviiri oba ebitundu by’olugoye, tebigaaya bulungi. Kino kiyinza okuvaako olubuto okutabuka, okuziyira n’oluusi ekiddukano.
Yinfekisoni z’ekyenda: Bw’olya ebintu ng’ettaka n’omusulo, obuwuka , obuwuka obusirikitu, oba ensowera ezigirimu bisobola okuyingira mu lubuto lwo ne bikuleetera yinfekisoni.
Okuzibikira ekyenda: Oluusi, ekintu omwana ky’alya kiyinza okusibira mu byenda ne kivaako okuzibikira. Eno era mbeera eyeetaaga okujjanjabibwa mu bwangu.
Obuvune mu kamwa oba amannyo: Okulya amayinja oba ebintu ebisongovu kiyinza okuvaako obuvune ku kamwa, olulimi n’amannyo.

Manya: Ebintu bino byonna tebituuka ku buli mwana. Wabula tusaanidde okujjukira nti waliwo akabi akali mu kino singa (Pica) abaawo.

Lwaki embeera eno (Pica) ebaawo? Biki ebivaako?

Abasawo n’okutuusa kati tebasobola kuzuula kituufu kivaako pica, naye waliwo ebibinja ebitonotono ebisinga okufuna embeera eno:
Abaana abalina obuzibu mu nkula: Okugeza, abaana abalina autism oba obulemu ku magezi batera okufuna pica.
Ensonga z‟obulamu bw‟obwongo: Pica era esobola okukwatagana n‟embeera ezimu ez‟obulamu bw‟omutwe, gamba ng‟ obuzibu bw‟okulowooza ennyo (OCD) oba obulwadde bw‟okutabuka emitwe .
Endya embi oba enjala: Oluusi, omubiri bwe gubulwa ebiriisa naddala ekyuma oba zinki, oyinza okuwulira ng’oyagala okulya ebintu ebyewuunyisa okusobola okusasula ebbula. Era kiyinza okuba nga kiva ku kuba nti okulya emmere etasaana kikuleetera okuwulira ng’ojjudde.
Stress: Eno nayo nsonga nkulu nnyo. Naddala abaana okuva mu maka agabeera mu bwavu, agalina embeera y’awaka embi, abalagajjalirwa oba abatulugunyizibwa mu mubiri oba mu birowoozo batera okufuna Pica. Mu mbeera ng’ezo, eno eyinza okuba engeri gye bayinza okusumulula situleesi n’okusika omuguwa kwabwe.
Pica asinga kulabibwa mu baana abato n’abakyala ab’embuto. Kitwalibwa nga kyabulijjo abaana okuteeka ebintu mu kamwa okutuusa nga bawezezza emyaka nga 2. Kale, omwana bw’aba asussa emyaka 2 era ng’amaze omwezi n’okusoba ng’alya emmere etasaana, tuteebereza nti eno mbeera eyitibwa Pica. Emirundi egisinga omuze guno gukendeera ng’abaana bakula. Naye eri abo abalina obuzibu mu nkulaakulana oba ensonga z‟obulamu bw‟omutwe, kino kiyinza okugenda mu maaso ng‟ensonga okutuuka mu bukulu.
Abasawo bazuula batya obulwadde bwa Pica?
Bw’oba oteebereza nti omwana wo alya emmere etasaana, olina okulaba omusawo. Omusawo ayinza okuteebereza nti omwana wo alina pica okusinziira ku bintu bino wammanga:
Singa omwana amaze waakiri omwezi mulamba ng’alya emmere etali nnungi.
Enneeyisa eno si ya bulijjo ku myaka gy’omwana oba ku ddaala ly’enkula y’omwana . (Nze nnagambye emabegako nti kyabulijjo abaana abali wansi w’emyaka 2 okuteeka ebintu mu kamwa).
Singa omwana aba n‟ebintu eby‟akabi okulwala Pica (e.g., obuzibu mu kukula).
Okugatta ku ekyo, omusawo ayinza n’okukola ebigezo nga:
Okukebera omusaayi okukebera oba temuli bbula lya kyuma (anemia) oba obuzibu obulala mu mmere.
Okukebera omusulo mu musaayi.
Okukebera omusulo okukebera obuwuka obusirikitu .
X-ray oba sikaani endala okulaba omwana ky’alya oba oba waliwo ekizibu ng’ekyenda okuzibikira.
Pica ajjanjabibwa atya?
Kino tokitya. Pica mbeera ejjanjabibwa. Abasawo basobola okukuyamba, ng’abazadde, okufuga n’okukomya enneeyisa zino ezikwatagana ne Pica.
Okusomesa abazadde: Ng’ekyokulabirako, oyinza okubawa amagezi ebintu bye balya babikuume nga baana baabwe batasobola kubituukako, bakozese ebizibiti ebiziyiza abaana, n’okutereka ebintu ku myaliiro egya waggulu abaana gye batasobola kubituukako.
Amagezi ku by’endya: Omwana bw’aba n’obutaba na biriisa nga iron oba zinc, osobola okumuwa empeke oba siropu ezeetaagisa. Osobola n’okubawa amagezi ku mmere ennungi.
Obujjanjabi bw’enneeyisa: Abaana abamu bayinza okwetaaga obuyambi bw’omukugu mu by’empisa oba omukugu omulala mu by’obulamu bw’obwongo . Bajja kwogera n’omwana era bagezeeko okukyusa enneeyisa eno etasaana nga bayita mu nkola ez’enjawulo.
Eddagala: Emirundi egisinga, obujjanjabi buno busobola okufuga embeera eno. Wabula mu mbeera ezimu ez’amaanyi naddala nga waliwo ekizibu ekirala eky’omutwe (Pica), abasawo bayinza n’okukuwa eddagala.
Ekisinga obukulu nti kino togezaako kunoonya ngeri ya kugonjoola nsonga eno ku bubwo, wabula funa amagezi g’abasawo.
Ebintu ebirala ebikulu by’olina okumanya
Bw’oba olina ky’oteebereza nti omwana wo ayinza okuba ne Pica, oba bw’olaba obubonero bwonna obukweraliikiriza, nsaba oyogere n’omusawo.
Bw’oba olowooza nti omwana wo alya ekintu eky’obulabe, okugeza ekitundu kya langi, bbaatule oba empeke, genda mangu omusawo. Ekirala, mu Sri Lanka, osobola okukuba ku ssimu ya National Poisons Information Center - 0112 686 143 okufuna amagezi.
N’ekisembayo, ebintu by’olina okujjukira (Obubaka bw’okutwala awaka) .
Pica muze gwa bulijjo mu baana abato nga guzingiramu okulya ebintu ebitali bya kulya. Wano wayinza okubaawo ensonga ez’enjawulo emabega wa kino.
Guno si musango gwa mwana. Kale toboggolera wadde okubonereza omwana.
Okulya emmere etali nnungi kiyinza okuvaako obuzibu mu bulamu, n’olwekyo si kirungi kino okukibuusa amaaso.
Kikulu nnyo okunoonya amagezi g’abasawo. Omusawo asobola okuzuula obulungi obulwadde n’amuwa obujjanjabi n’amagezi ebyetaagisa.
Okufaayo kw’abazadde, okwagala, n’obulagirizi obutuufu bikulu nnyo okusobola okufuga embeera eno.
Tusiima nnyo okufaayo kwo eri omwana wo. Tusuubira nti amawulire gano ogasanga nga gayamba. Bw’oba olina ekibuuzo kyonna, nsaba tolwawo kubuuza musawo.
` Pica, okulya emmere etasaana, obulamu bw'abaana, obutaba na mmere nnungi, obutwa bw'omusulo, obulamu bw'obwongo, obuzibu mu nkula
