What's Up With Rice Bran?

Does anyone know exactly why rice bran can be a problem?

I'm not improving, and the only thing I can think of is the rice bran in the rice pastas I've been eating. I react everytime I have a pasta meal, it seems. What is rice bran anyways? Would that entail brown rice as well?

rice bran is the bran off of the rice. same way as with wheat bran. it's part of the outer covering on the grain itself. it's high in fiber, and it might cause problems for you. are you bothered by plain white rice or brown rice?

I usually eat white rice, with no problems. I keep reacting from various brands of rice pasta, or so I believe, all of them having rice bran. Someone else, from another forum on the matter, suggested that it could be the rice bran that is the culprit.... So I'm just wondering.

It's hard to say off of white rice alone. If white rice didn't give you a problem and plain brown rice did, then I'd assume the bran (the extra fiber, really). But have you ruled out cross contamination?

      Vitamin A is important for vision health. But be careful in supplementing it as it can lead to toxicity. Research it and consult with your medical professional. I do not have a definite answer to your original question but I was pursuing the possible cause of nutritional deficiency. But your visual deterioration could be unrelated to your celiac disease so don't rule that out.

      Currently 19. Doctors think I was 1 year old when celiac started, but I wasn't diagnosed until 18, because they didn't do lab work on minors. I've been on a strict gluten-free diet for 14 months now. For example only certified gluten-free nuts and I've researched best brands a lot. I take B vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin C, Curcumin with black pepper, black sesame and green tea extract, magnesium, iron, and a little selenium and zinc, beef liver capsules. I recently had my vitamin and mineral levels retested and D is the only one I don't have enough of now. I had my eyes tested at 17 and they were good back then.

      Not everyone with dermatitis herpetiformis needs to avoid iodine. DH is caused by gluten exposure, but iodine can worsen or trigger flares in a subset of people, especially when the rash is active or not yet controlled by a strict gluten-free diet. Some people react to iodized salt, seaweed, shellfish, or iodine supplements, while others tolerate normal dietary iodine without problems. In most cases, iodine restriction is individualized and often temporary, not a lifelong rule for everyone.

      Questions: How old are you now? How long ago were you diagnosed as having celiac disease? Do you practice a strict gluten-free diet? Are you taking vitamin and mineral supplements to offset the nutrient malabsorption issues typical of celiac disease and if so, can you elaborate on what you are taking?

      My vision was good as a teen and now has gotten worse in the last year. Could that be caused by my celiac disease?🤓😎🥸👓🕶️
