You probably don't rinse it well enough. There is a LOT of starch on rice that you can wash off. Put rice in pot, fill pot with water, slosh rice around with your hand, discard water. Repeat a few times, you'll see when the water starts to clear up.
Hey this might sound stupid but I hate rinsing the rice because I can never manage to drain the water without losing a significant amount of the rice in the process, so I just kind of half ass it with two rinses, that's probably where the problem lies. I should probably be okay with some of the water remaning in the pot instead of trying to drain it completely, thanks!
You can also just put the rice in a strainer and the strainer in the pot, then fill it up and do the rinsing, then just lift the rice out and discard water. Or rinse through the strainer but I feel like that uses a lot of water.
