Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have the habit of eating raw rice. I have been trying to stop eating but in vain. Recently, I have been gaining a lot of weight, my stomach has started getting bigger, and there are black spots all over my stomach.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
I suggest you stop eating raw rice. More than a sudden weight gain, eating raw rice causes bloating because of the difficulty in breaking down the rice during digestion. When there is indigestion, it not only results in bloating but also disturbs your digestive system, which includes the stomach and intestines resulting in inflammation and a decrease in the absorption of vitamins and minerals that our body requires for good health. That would eventually result in physical ill health and show on your body and skin.
So, it is clear that the first step you must take is quitting raw rice altogether.
Secondly, I would advise:
Do follow the above steps, and last but not least, stop worrying about anything serious. You will be alright after you follow the advice.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
