Arsenic and rice

Sharing this article, as it has a nice summary on rice.  It was written regarding bone density, but if you scroll down, you'll see a summary of arsenic content by rice type and growing locale.  There's also a different technique than what I've seen for decreasing arsenic content when cooking rice.

I use California grown rice and wash it well.  We have cut back on grains in general for other health reasons.  

Thanks for the article.

I use California and from Spain. I buy from LaTienda, a US company that imports from Spain. They will contact their suppliers and provide current arsenic analyses. They also  outline growing practices in their product descriptions. They offer some plumper rices which work better than basmati in some dishes.

Good to know!  

I confess, I buy 25 pound bags of California Japanese rice.  It has a very long shelf life.  When the big earthquake hits we will be cooking a lot of rice on the camp stove.  ?

I've heard a lot about Japanese rice lately, have been interested to try it.  Who is your source, and does it come in anything smaller than 25#?

(Sure 1to 5 lb. small bags are available.  Cal Rose is the rice.  There are many brands, but here is an example on Target:

Btw, do they make Japanese rice flour,  too?

      SSRI stopped working after gluten free diet due to Celiac diag

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Redlima My anxiety hit before diagnosis, and in fact it was anxiety which led me to see a doctor who put me on the road of various blood tests which revealed iron deficiency, raised globulin levels and borderline B12.  At first my GP suspected a type of cancer, and didn't really know what else to make of it until about six months down the road when I started to get diarrhea and was losing weight.  That then led another GP to do more tests and coeliac disease was the culprit. Clinical anxiety can be very scary indeed and I suffered with a horrible, irrational phobia at that time, too.  I could hardly think straight.  My GP put me onto citalopram but also, thankfully, I found a couple of books that helped me to get through this time and I always mention them on this forum, at the risk of repetition, because they were a huge help to me. Paul David's 'At Last a Life' book (and his forum), as well as Dr Steve Llardi's 'The Depression Cure' book which looks at things which we neglect in modern life, such as physical exercise, omega-3 fatty acids,  natural sunlight exposure,  restorative sleep,  social connectedness and  meaningful, engaging activity.  These things can really make a difference.   At the same time, my vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Have you had your levels checked, particularly B12 and iron?  These are particularly important as deficiencies can really affect people's mental health.  If they are low or low normal, get your doctor to prescribe some supplements, but at the same s/he needs to keep an eye on iron going forward, as too much in the blood is dangerous.  I found B12 incredibly helpful in feeling better in the early stages of my recovery - sometimes, it was almost like night and day just a few hours after taking it.  (Someone on this forum recommended Solgar sublingual tablets, they are great.) My anxiety started to get a lot better after a few weeks but there were setbacks which made me at times think I'd not recovered, or perhaps ever would.  But like a jagged line on a chart, which has ups and downs but over all has an upward trajectory, I did get better in the end.  I hope that you will find the same, and that perhaps some of this story has helped.

      Still unsure.....

      So after  a long time in which I got my zinc and folic acid levels back on track I will now start with taking Thiamine to see if that does anything. According to my blood levels I'm not low on Thiamine but, if I understand correctly, blood works are not the best way to find out if there is a Thiamine shortage. How much Thiamine should I take to start with? 100 mg?

      Curious if I should quit my job

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm in the "never reveal your plans to the enemy" camp on this one--it's none of their business if you're looking for another job, so I would leave that out of any conversation. Also, retaliation can be common with some employers, especially if you bring up the ADA and claim a disability because of celiac disease. I was a corporate paralegal for 5 years and handled employment claims against some major USA companies, and I've seen it all--even by huge companies that contract with the government and should know better. I say keep your cards close to your vest, wear an N95 mask if you handle wheat flour, and quietly look for another job if you feel you can't continue there.  Oh, and when I say "enemy," I mean that unscrupulous managers may quickly become your enemy, even if the law is on your side, and they could find trivial reasons to give you the 3 quick warnings that may be necessary to fire you. Very few lawyers would take such a case on a contingency basis, so unless you have a stockpile of money, you'd have no recourse.

      @ohmichael doesn't have an official diagnosis of celiac disease yet. That would need to happen if he were to pursue a disability claim.

      Biopsy confirmed no celiac, low gliadin igg but high gliadin iga?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. According to this article your two positive DGP-IgA tests mean:
