Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much in this regard. Weird eating habits are common and this happens due to some nutritional imbalance of the body. If body needs some extra nutritients which it is starving for, you start craving for that nutrition. Salt eating, mud eating, kerosene, chocolate are some examples. In your case, eating raw rice is also common and most probably it is happening because of iron deficiency, Please consult your doctor for some iron supplement.

Hope this answers your query. In case you require more of my assistance in this regard, please post a direct query for me in this website. I am happy to help you.

Good luck.
