Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

Please do not worry. I will suggest you to continue with your food cravings. I will suggest to eat the rice after carefully chewing it and mixing well with saliva before you swallow .

Also supplement yourself with iron, calcium and protein , This will be helpful for baby to grow and will also reduce your cravings.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
