See below: Aside from possible parasites that are difficult to kill in uncooked rice (even with generous washing), it may cause stomach discomfort because it may expand in volume in your stomach (like when you cook it). Also, probably not absorbing as much nutrients and carbohydrates due to prolonged time needed for digestion. But no, unlikely to cause a specific disease.
