00:00The rice is flat and uncooked.
00:04This woman used a spoon to break it.
00:08But she didn't cook it yet.
00:11She just ate it.
00:18She was so shocked by the uncooked rice.
00:24We will eat a sack of rice.
00:27In one of her vlogs, she forced herself to open a sack of rice.
00:32And she also ate it.
00:40She also saved the leftover grains from the sack.
00:47And she ate it right away.
00:52And not only white rice is her favorite snack.
00:57She also ate brown rice and basmati rice.
01:05She also mixed different kinds of rice.
01:10But why the uncooked rice?
01:12She couldn't wait for it to be cooked.
01:14Why did she eat it right away?
01:19For us Filipinos, rice is life.
01:25But did you know that there are people who eat uncooked rice?
01:32Here in their house in Buog Zamboanga, Cebu,
01:36a vlogger named Mamangbeb is shooting her uncooked rice videos.
01:42I thought of starting a YouTube channel.
01:44I tried eating uncooked rice.
01:46But my rice went viral.
01:48But this is not just for the content.
01:51She really craves to eat uncooked rice.
01:55I can't stop eating rice.
01:59After eating, I crave for rice.
02:05I just want my food to be rice.
02:08For me, it's really delicious.
02:13She doesn't waste her time eating rice.
02:18When I have a conversation, I eat rice.
02:21I have a deep thought that I want to eat rice.
02:25When I'm angry, I need rice by my side.
02:28When I sleep, rice is in my mind.
02:35When I travel, I put rice in my cellophane.
02:37When I go to Abu Dhabi, I eat their rice.
02:42I feel so delicious.
02:44Especially the crunchiness of the rice.
02:47I'm satisfied.
02:48Rice is my stress reliever.
02:50How many cups of rice does Mamangbeb eat every day?
02:55Around 10-15 cups.
02:58Around 15 cups.
02:59But it's not a problem that she can eat it all.
03:03Because...
03:04I sell rice. It's my favorite.
03:08From grade 1 to high school, I really eat rice.
03:13She insisted on eating rice when she was pregnant.
03:18I told my son,
03:20I really want to eat a lot of rice.
03:24But she admitted,
03:25I feel like it's not good for my health.
03:27I feel like I'm neglecting people.
03:30I'm like that too.
03:31But it's just rice.
03:32I'm just concerned about my wife.
03:34If my wife's health is not okay because of eating rice,
03:37I'll react.
03:39I always spit it out.
03:41I spit it out.
03:43It hurts.
03:44I have a lot of acid.
03:46Next.
03:47Do you know anyone who eats raw rice?
03:50I want to stop her.
03:53But I can't.
03:55I'm addicted to rice.
03:56It's just a guess.
03:57Because let's talk about how dangerous it is.
04:03She can spit it out.
04:05Next.
04:07Next.
04:13Here in Zamboanga City,
04:16we met a woman who likes to eat raw rice.
04:24Her name is not Ivy.
04:27She eats one cup of rice every day.
04:33When I cook rice in the rice cooker,
04:36I just pick it up and put it in my mouth.
04:41Later, I'll do the same when I have rice.
04:45I want my palate to be full when I pick up rice.
04:48Then I'll put it in my mouth.
04:51They usually run out of rice at home.
04:55That's why I ask for rice from my brother's wife
04:59so that I can be satisfied.
05:01I'm addicted to rice.
05:03It all started when she got pregnant.
05:06Her taste is like manipok.
05:08I just want to cry when I eat rice.
05:12But it's not just a simple feces.
05:15Even though she's pregnant,
05:17I'm really addicted to eating rice.
05:20Because Ivy can't control her appetite for rice,
05:25they often argue with her husband.
05:28When I see her eating rice,
05:32I get mad at her.
05:34I get mad at her, too.
05:36She also received a judgment.
05:39My husband uploaded 4 memes.
05:42Someone commented,
05:43It's delicious to eat rice,
05:45why don't you just cook rice?
05:47It's stressful.
05:48I hope they learn to feel.
05:59I hope they don't judge me
06:01because they don't know what I've been through.
06:04I want to stop her,
06:06but I can't.
06:07It's become my habit.
06:09I'm addicted to her.
06:13Until her fear happened.
06:16I can feel the pain in my body.
06:21I notice that I'm getting thinner.
06:24I can't help you anymore
06:26because I can feel it in my body.
06:29We consulted Ivy to a doctor.
06:36We found out that Ivy
06:38possibly has an eating disorder
06:41called PICA.
06:43PICA is a symptom
06:45where an individual eats unusual things
06:49that are inedible.
06:50She's already under an eating disorder.
06:52It's common among pregnant women.
06:54If she throws up,
06:55it can cause hormonal imbalance
06:57in our body
06:58and trigger the brain of a person
07:01to crave for things.
07:03Most of the time,
07:04it triggers stress.
07:07But how dangerous is it
07:09to eat raw rice?
07:11Rice is digested by the body.
07:13Actually,
07:14this symptom is just benign.
07:17It doesn't mean it's dangerous.
07:19What are the diseases
07:21that can be caused
07:22if we overeat?
07:24It can cause dyspepsia.
07:26It can trigger hyperacidity symptoms.
07:29If the rice is too hard,
07:31it can cause dental problems.
07:34Other patients
07:35can have other complications
07:37such as tooth decay.
07:39It can also cause poisoning in the body.
07:42If the symptoms are persistent,
07:46we can refer her to a psychiatrist
07:49to undergo behavioral therapy.
07:51Instead of eating rice,
07:53she can eat chewing gum
07:56or peanuts
07:58to satisfy her craving.
08:00I'm so happy
08:01because I know my condition.
08:03I have some adjustments to do.
08:05I'll eat alternative foods.
08:08I won't eat rice anymore.
08:10I'll eat bread or maneng.
08:13Rice is life.
08:15But for others,
08:16rice is lifer.
08:18Be careful.
08:20If you think
08:21this is just a simple diet,
08:24you can eat a lot more rice.
