Rice Intolerant?

Does anyone have a rice intolerance as well with this disease? i had a slice of gluten-free bread from Kinninnick and not feeling so good now :(. Any thoughts? I'm just losing tons of food options here. I just realized that soy was making me sick as well since i'm keeping a diet journal of all the foods i eat every day and how i feel.

Thanks :)

I've reacted to KK products. It only happens if I have more than 1 bagel, sandwich, etc. I called the company (this was early on, when I was new to the gluten-free scene), and they assured me that their products were all gluten-free. :P

For me, although I have other issues with rice (it causes problems with my blood sugar), I don't think it's what's causing these reactions in my case. I can eat plain rice and not get the big D. Did you read the label? Sometimes KK products have all kinds of "exotic" flours added. You may be reacting to those instead.

Someone here suggested to me that it may be the pea flour found in some KK products that caused my reactions. I think it is the Tappioca. I have since reacted to Tappioca in other products. Since I have never had eaten it pre-Celiac (oddly enough I would always refuse Tappioca pudding as a child), I had no idea that I react to it. These gluten-free products use all of these "uncommon" ingredients we would likely never use if not gluten-free.

Interestingly, I have a latex allergy. Apparently some people with a latex allergy also react to Tappioca (similar molecular structure?). My symptoms from eating Tappioca echo my gluten reactions, which I suspect may be a wheat allergy on top of Celiac (my blood sugar and blood pressure usually drops within minutes). Always fun to stumble around chugging a 2L of Coke to keep from passing out and seeing black spots! :D

I would try another brand if need be. I use Glutino Cornbread. It tastes *great* to me, is premade, and doesn't seem to cause any trouble.

Hope you figure this out!

P.S. If you are new to Celiac, your gut may still be healing, so you may react to pretty much *anything and everything*.

I find the rice and tapioc products shoot my glycemic index up too quickly and I feel blah yuck. It may just be a sugar thing and not a rice thing.

I can eat a product like this w a protein, but not butter, jelly, or plain.

I'm allergic to rice and buckwheat and always have been. I'm not sure about the bread, but I've never bought anything pre-made. Just stick to whole, fresh foods, and you can always bake your own goods. :) Use quinoa/millet and other grains instead of rice in your favourite recipes.

I can't eat rice on a plate but seem to do okay if I occassionally eat rice based products (cream of rice cereal, rice cakes etc.). I have discovered that quinoa makes me super sick. i tried the actual grain one day and thought it was something else I had ate then I bought the quinoa flakes cereal- lets just say i will never do that again.....

interestingly enough my dietician told me rice is one of the hardest things for the body to digest. she suggested the parboiled rice (i think that means it's the quick cook kind) like uncle ben's. try it and see if you do better on it. my mom told me four months into me not feeling a whole lot better that she can't eat rice either because it gives her stomach pains (she is not a celiac or gluten-free). I'm down to polenta and even that i eat sparingly. i know how bad it stinks when trying to figure out what to eat as i'm also casein and soy free too..... <_<

You may need some time off of all grains. I had to do that and now am using some rice again. However, I have NEVER tolerated plain old cooked rice no matter how "easily digestible" many say it is. You may later on want to try some occasional Tinkyada pasta. I would start with the white type first. Or an occasional Lundberg rice cake. I toast them. But first I'd get rid of all grains. I am gluten, soy, corn, legume and nightshade-free. I recently re-introduced a little white potato but the jury is still out on whether that's okay. I'm also mostly dairy-free, but find now I can have an occasional hunk of Cabot cheddar cheese and it's fine. This is over a year in, though. You may need to be very patient and limit your diet quite a bit for awhile. It will get better, though.

I feel better when I avoid all grains, too. And yes, you do begin to feel there's very little you CAN eat, but it keeps meal planning simple. LOL

I've been avoiding all gluten-free pastas, and rice products. I did buy the Glutino corn bread and that seems to be okay.

Thanks all for all of your suggestions!!! This site is fantastic for support and help so I don't feel so alone in this. :)

i'm not sure of the different levels of Candida or whatever; but i had it major and still do to some extent. any kind of carbs or sugar just attacks me. if your curious look into it. it seems common among celiacs.

Rice makes my joints and muscles hurt. The same for my daughter. We were told by an allergist that rice it one of the worst things for you if you have joint issues.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
