Anyone Have A Problem With Rice?

I haven't yet gotten better on my gluten-free diet, and I really feel like I'm getting worse.

I think it might be rice that's the problem, which makes me sad because I really like rice and that would make gluten-free even harder, but I want to know if it's common to have a rice intolerance?

I don't know if it's common but I also have a rice intolerence. Makes me hurt all over. My daughter is the same way. It doesn't matter the amount either. Just a little bit will set things off.

Common in the US? No. But that in no way means that you don't have one. It's not unheard of or impossible, and so I would encourage you to keep a food journal and try staying rice-free for a few days (or weeks), reintroducing it, recording symptoms the whole time, and repeating a few times to verify a pattern if one exists.

I have had a recent problem with rice. So I have no rice now. I just put extra cashews on my stir fry...

I've been keeping a food diary and that is how I realized that I have a rice intolerance! I wasn't feeling better either. I, like you, was feeling much worse and could not figure out why! I began to review my diary and thought I would also eliminate rice to see how I feel.

I began to slowly feel better! I can not tolerate rice in any form :(. Makes this diet a bit more challenging but duable. I just eat other grains like quinoa and buckwheat.

So, it's not unheard of I guess. Try eliminating it or keep a food diary and see if you can find some patterns.

I'm allergic to rice (and buckwheat, actually). It's uncommon but not impossible.

After going gluten-free I felt better but then got a sinus infection that I could not get rid of. The doc ran an allergey test and figured I was allergic to gluten, corn, soybeans, dogs, and all grass and mold. I also have issues with serevral other things. I have pretty much taken the corn and soybeans out as well as eggs and cut way back on the lactose. I can tell when I've had some because my ears start to bug me and my stomache starts to hurt alittle. You could have your doc run an allergey panel. They can run a big cross section just by drawing blood now. Rice was actually the one thing that I didn't react at all to. I understand the struggle when you get used to one change and then have to make another.

I do have problems with rice, soy, corn, gluten and dairy.

At first I didnt think it branched out that much but after going on an elimination diet I found out how good I could actually feel and how many of my "normal" aches and pains were actually caused by food. I still cheat once in a while with rice but I know Im going to pay if I do. If your interested in more information regarding elimination diets and celiac disease I found a website written by a veterinarian who happens to have celiac disease and has written about his own findings regarding other intolerances.

I can pm you the web address if your interested since I dont think I can post it

I found myself intolerant to rice, actually all grains that I tried for that matter, after being gluten-free for a while.

I went off grains completely for 6-7 months and can now eat rice with no problem.

Same thing with corn.

Hello!

Brown rice always made me feel a little sick, but then someone told me that brown rice especially needs to be chewed very well or else it is difficult to digest.

I can't eat much rice, especially brown rice. I can eat rice flour and some rice pasta. It seems the more it is processed, the more I am likely to cope eating it. I get sick, irritable and constipated! B):angry:

We now have lots of quinoa and buckwheat. Yum! :lol:

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
