Salt Craving

Hi,
I was checking for salt craving, and there's no salt craving ICD-9 codes in the book. In fact, I also check for symptoms (this is a Addison's disease symptom) and there's nothing there...
Do you have something else that could help with this diagnostic??? Because, in that case you would have another options to check for.

Have a nice day

I am having the same issue- the patient is a 3 year old- I am going to use 783.9- nutrition, metabolic,developmental symptoms. The child is craving salt and also licking metal... Anyway it's the best one I came up with.
