I am habituated to eat raw rice frequently. Am trying to control my habit but am not able to do so. Y? Is that any kind of deficiency or something else? How could I get out of this? Is this habit going to harm my health in any stage?

Please get your hemoglobin checked. You maybe suffering from anaemia. Patients with anaemia develop a taste for things like chalk, soil, raw rice etc. Apart from a stomachache, it may also give you worm infestations due to eating unwashed food.
