I've been eating raw rice for over two years now and I usually eat quite a lot every day. I'm starting to wonder if this habit could be bad for my health. Is eating raw rice harmful?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Eating raw rice can be harmful as it may lead to various health issues. It can cause digestive problems such as bloating, gas, and constipation. In severe cases, it can also lead to nutrient deficiencies due to the phytates present in raw rice that can interfere with nutrient absorption. I recommend seeking medical advice to address this habit.

View allI've been experiencing a lot of gas, pain, and loose stools every morning for about a year and a half now, and I never really feel relaxed after going to the bathroom in the morning. Sometimes in the evening, my stool looks like my food is only partially digested. And it doesn't matter whether I eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner - I feel pressure every time. I'm getting worried and would like to know what's going on with my digestion. What could be causing these symptoms?
could be due to ibs conult your gastroentrologist

I'm feeling fit and have no pain, but my pre-employment test showed my SPGT is 75 and SGOT is 40. The examiner suggested I take Udiliv 300 twice a day. Could you please tell me how long it might take to get these levels back to normal if I follow a balanced diet and abstain from alcohol? I don't drink often, so I'm wondering about my career prospects with these results. Should I consider taking Liv.52 DS instead?
SGPT and SGOT are mildly elevated and you are non alcoholic. We need to rule out other causes. A detailed Medical history including your height and weight, diet history, recent history of fever and jaundice may help us to guide you accordingly. There are ways to evaluate it. You may need to get few investigations based on history to make a diagnosis. LIV52 is an ayurvedic preparation and so I may not comment on it. About udiliv it has got some specific indications.

My stomach has been hurting for the past three days. It's like these cramps and sharp pains that come and go every day, lasting about 5 to 10 seconds before it goes back to normal. Do you have any idea what might be causing this? Could it be related to some kind of gastro issue? What can I do at home to feel better?
It sounds like you might be experiencing mild gastrointestinal discomfort, possibly due to indigestion, gas, or even a mild stomach infection. Try taking an over-the-counter antacid or anti-gas medication, drink warm water, and avoid heavy or spicy foods. If the pain persists or worsens, its best to consult a doctor to rule out other causes.
