All white rice is gluten free if it doesn't have a sauce mix or spices packaged with it. :P

White rice is just white rice. Shouldn't have anything added to it so it should be gluten free. If yours is getting mushy you might be adding too much water to it and possibly cooking it for too long. I do not have a problem with mushy rice and I am not that particular to brand. I usually just buy whatever is cheapest. I've also bought the pre-cooked kind from Trader Joes. It's good for a quick meal or to add to soup.

I never had a problem with Uncle Ben's either, though now I use Lundberg brown rice, and have no intention to go back to the parboiled stuff.

You can cook Uncle Ben's in the microwave (not in plastic please). It always turned out quite well for me. As I recall, it took less time too - about 18-20 mins. I remember using a slightly different amount of water, but not sure if it was a bit less or more than for stove top cooking. I think it was slightly less. I'd cover it too, but the cover was light enough for air bubbles to escape. Two mins or so on high, then about 16 mins low to medium. Ovens vary of course. If it boils over then the power level is too high (or the bowl is too full). It will then be REALLY HOT, and will cook the rest of the way while it cools down.

As for the gluten-free question; I read some may have gluten because of the fortification process, which requires something to get the added nutrients to stick to the grains.

If rice is too mushy try reducing water by about a teaspoon and keep flame or heat lower. I purchased a "diffuser" which is a flat metal thing that goes on top of the burner. It is about an inch in height and is as round as my burner is, and has a 8 or 9 inch handle. This diffuser allows the heat to hit the bottom of saucepan more evenly and keeps the foods from scorching. I don't remember where I got it from: mail order like Walter Drake ...

      Help Interpreting My Lab Results? (updated)

      By trents · Posted

      Cutting out major sources of gluten in one's diet is pretty easy. It's the hidden sources where it shows up in products you would never expect to find wheat in (like soy sauce and Campbell's tomato soup, most canned soups, many pork n' bean products), medications, supplements, oral hygiene products, etc. that are the things that trip you up. And then there is eating out in restaurants where you order something that should be gluten free but it's cooked along with things that have wheat. Eating out is the biggest threat to eating gluten free. Achieving a truly gluten free diet involves a real learning curve. It concerns me that you seem to want to ease into this gradually. That just sounds too casual to me and screams of not taking this seriously. The longer you put off achieving a truly gluten-free life style, the longer your body will continue to be harmed. In your first post in your thread you seemed concerned about harm that already might have been done. Now you seem to be singing a different tune. This may be helpful to you:

      almost a year in recovery - so many questions about to give up

      By kopiq · Posted

      thank you so much. this makes so much sense. I just started taking vitamin b complex today (https://www.amazon.ca/Absorption-Methylated-Methylcobalamin-Flush-Free-Igennus/dp/B01787EPEE?rdc=1) and will continue with it to see how I feel. I also have 1000mg vit d pills but i do not absorb fats and when i first tired them i got a severe migraine for three days. Once i no longer taste fats or foods linger in mouth and throat I will start taking the vitamin d pills.   thanks again, really appreciate the info, I have a drs appointment in a few weeks and will look into a dietician.

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Zuma888, Hashimoto's commonly occurs with Celiac Disease.  Those HLA genes code for other autoimmune diseases along with Celiac.  Hashimoto's and Celiac overlap.  People with Hashimoto's produce anti gluten antibodies, so a gluten free diet is definitely a must.  It may be safe to assume you've got Celiac Disease as well.   People with Hashimoto's often have deficiencies in Vitamin C and Thiamine.  Vitamin deficiencies are common in Celiac Disease.  A deficiency in Thiamine can manifest as Gastrointestinal Beriberi with digestive upsets and changes in bowel habits.   Your burning sensation and extreme fatigue for days after working out may be due to a lack of Thiamine and B vitamins.  If you don't have sufficient Thiamine, lactic acid can build up in muscles causing that burning sensation.  Anybody remember Jane Fonda's workouts?  Her catch phrase was "Feel the burn" meaning work out so hard, lactic acid builds up causing the burning sensation.  Thiamine and the B vitamins are needed to clear that lactic acid and repair muscle damage. Supplementing with a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing, and magnesium would be beneficial to help you feel better.  Blood tests for vitamin deficiencies are inaccurate.  Take Thiamine and B vitamins, then look for health improvements.  If not needed or absorbed, excess B vitamins are easily excreted in urine.

      @Rejoicephd, So glad you checked your multivitamin! I like Life Extension brand.  Their BioActive Complete B Complex has active forms of the B vitamins.  Note that one serving is two capsules, so you can take one capsule at each of two meals, boosting opportunity for absorption.   Life Extension also makes Benfotiamine (100 mg).  Take one at each of two meals in addition to the B Complex.  Don't take thiamine and B vitamins close to bedtime, you may be too energized to sleep.   I like Life Extension's Neuro Mag, a form of magnesium that can get into the brain easily, which helps immensely with improving headaches and muscle tension in the neck.   I'm so glad you're enjoying the forum!
