Sticky rice in general and sticky rice dishes are often used to treat tuberculosis, diarrhea, and cerebral circulatory insufficiency in pregnant women...

However, pregnant women should only eat sticky rice in moderation. Although sticky rice will help pregnant women prevent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, it has a high starch content. Therefore, pregnant women who eat a lot of sticky rice will increase the risk of diabetes during pregnancy.

Therefore, they are not good for people with stomach pain or gastroesophageal reflux.

In addition, sticky rice packages can be added with many spices such as onions, garlic, pepper... which will make stomach problems worse.

5. Do not eat sticky rice when your body is hot.

Sticky rice has quite hot ingredients, so eating a lot of sticky rice will make you feel “hot inside” and prone to acne. Therefore, people with hot body should limit this dish.
