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:

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash...

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone...

But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!

      By catnapt · Posted

      I am on day 13 of eating gluten  and have decided to have the celiac panel done tomorrow instead of Wed. (and instead of extending it a few more weeks) because I am SO incredibly sick. I have almost no appetite and am not able to consume the required daily intake of calcium to try to keep up with the loss of calcium from the high parathyroid hormone and/or the renal calcium leak.    I have spent the past 15 years working hard to improve my health. I lost 50lbs, got off handfuls of medications, lowered my cholesterol to enviable levels, and in spite of having end stage osteoarthritis in both knees, with a good diet and keeping active I have NO pain in those joints- til now.  Almost all of my joints hurt now I feel like someone has repeatedly punched me all over my torso- even my ribs hurt- I have nausea, gas, bloating, headache, mood swings, irritability, horrid flatulence (afraid to leave the house or be in any enclosed spaces with other people- the smell would knock them off their feet) I was so sure that I wanted a firm diagnosis but now- I'm asking myself is THIS worth it? esp over the past 2 yrs I have been feeling better and better the more I adjusted my diet to exclude highly refined grains and processed foods. I didn't purposely avoid gluten, but it just happened that not eating gluten has made me feel better.   I don't know what I would have to gain by getting a definitive diagnosis. I think possibly the only advantage to a DX would be that I could insist on gluten-free foods in settings where I am unable to have access to foods of my choice (hospital, rehab, nursing home)  and maybe having a medical reason to see a dietician?   please let me know if it's reasonable to just go back to the way I was eating.  Actually I do plan to buy certified gluten-free oats as that is the only grain I consume (and really like) so there will be some minor tweaks I hope and pray that I heal quickly from any possible damage that may have been done from 13 days of eating gluten.
