Is Eating Raw Rice Bad For Health In Children?
My two year old daughter has been eating raw rice everyday for the past two months, since I have stopped her from eating ice, I have done everything to stop her. Is eating raw rice bad for her health? Is it a deficiency of some kind? I am really trying to stop her from eating it.

Hi...I understand by what you quote that she is eating uncooked rice grains as such. It is not bad for health, but it is a sign of worm infestation. I suggest you de-worm her and also suggest to use, Iron supplements. Both of these are prescription medicines and I suggest you consult your pediatrician for this.
