It means your body is telling you that you lack something in your diet.. I think you should talk to your doctor and see what it is.. you may very well be anemic hence the urge to eat raw rice!

I know of someone that did this throughout her pregnancy…she and the baby both turned out fine…
I don’t think they consume enough to cause real digestive issues.

I ate raw rice during my pregnancy.. allhumdolillah baby and I are good. This kind of craving is called ‘pica’. Ur body is lacking something, for me it was a vitamin D deficiency. Other issue with eating raw, unwashed rice is the chance of consuming the harmful bacteria, listeria as well as others. So try and avoid it.. meet ur GP..
