What causes the swelling of the eyes after eating rice late in the night? When i heard about this assumption, i didn't believed until it became obvious to me. Whenever i ate rice late in the night i always noticed that my eyes became swollen in the morning. This is not uncommon, because invariably numerous people are complaining. I don't really know whether it's normal or it has a health risks. If you are ignorant of this, just experiment it and ask your neighbour what happened to your eyes. Thanks for your comment.

This is serious matter o.

You might be allergic to some chemicals in the rice. And by the way, if rice causes ur eyes to swell, why do you continue eating it? (na wa for Nigerians sef!)
Secondly (and this is more sinister, I'm afraid) you might have some kind of kidney pathology going on. Pretty much still in the early stages of course. For that you'd need to see a doctor, run some tests and stuff.
And then there's always google!

This condition is called pollen-food allergy syndrome and it is the result of cross-reactivity between certain pollens and other foods like (proteins). it is sometimes treated with anti-histamine. i do have allergy when i eat beans so i had to stop.
