Anemia. Eaten Uncooked Rice. Is Addiction To It Bad?

Hi,
I am Vanessa Gowreesunkar and I am a lecturer by profession.
I wanted to ask if eating uncooked rice is related to anemia? or any other side effects in terms of health.
Since a few weeks now, I am getting addicted to eating raw rice daily and at regular interval.
My email is YYYY@YYYY

Hello
stick to one particular diet can give rise to nutritional anemia ( iron deficiency, megaloblastic anemia etc)
Why are you thinking that you are having anemia. Is there any symptoms?
If you are concern then visit the Doctor and get complete hemogram done. Depending upon result further work up will be required
Hope this helps, wish you best health
