Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here... Can eating raw long grain white rice (Unwashed and uncooked) coz any form of cancer? I am 29 years old , Married and have two children and my weight is 55 Kgs. I am currently taking anti- depressants, tranquilizers , etc. I used to eat raw rice before i got married and had stopped after getting married but now since a year or two i have been eating quiet a bit of white long grained rice (Basmati) without washing. Today i am having a burning or rather a very funny feeling inside my mouth (on the top part of the part)
Hi, Thanks for writing in. It is possible that you are having symptoms of gastritis. Please consult a surgeon and get an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy done to know if there is any ulcer in stomach which is causing your symptoms. Do not skip meals and avoid spicy foods, alcohol and smoking for some time. Eating raw white rice which is uncooked is unlikely to cause any cancer or pre cancerous condition. Please do not get stressed about your eating raw rice in the past before marriage. Please do not worry.
