Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, either you have impulse control disorder or pica. Some children have such problem. In that case, you can consult a psychiatrist and can take low dose antidepressant. Medicine would help you to control such thoughts. Mean time, you can start tablet calcium, that would complete a urge for raw rice. Rest , you can discuss with psychiatrist.
