Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
Eating raw rice can be due to a condition known as PICA (eating non-foods or indigestable foods).
Some of the questions that needs to be answered by you is:
1. Why you eat raw rice?
2. What makes you to eat raw rice?
For this, you need to take counselling sessions from a Psychiatrist, who could help you out in getting rid of this habit. Following this, you need have strong self-determination to get out of this problem.
Remember, eating raw rice can cause GI infection and GI upsets and also decrease your hemoglobin content in blood causing anemia.
Hope the information provided would be useful.
All the best.
