Suggest Treatment For Addiction To Eating Raw Rice

Posted on Mon, 8 Feb 2016

Question: Hi, I am 31 yrs female ,I have one and half year old baby girl . I have some strange problem . I have habit of eating raw rice , i am addicted to it . Actually in my childhood I was addicted to it and somehow I leave this habit in my collage days . But now suddenly I have started it again since four months and everyday I think that I will not eat it but not able to resist . Four months before I had an cergical abortion(D&C) . And after that I started taking birth control pills .Is this related to each other ? Is eating raw rice will develop kidney stones or any other health problem ? Is it may lead to cancer ?

No problem

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about eating raw rice.

Eating raw rice is safe and not associated with any effects like cancer or kidney stones. This is not related to birth control pills also.

You can continue eating raw rice. Many women have this habit. Nothing to worry about it.
