Rice Problems


Grissomz

Recommended Posts

Even though I went on the gluten free diet 8 years ago, I never could get my weight back. I did get better, but still had major problems. Last year, I ended up in the hospital. I was severely underweight, and was in pain in the gut something awful. It seemed everytime I ate rice, I got the cramps. I decided to cut out all grains and just eat potatoes for starch.(against the speacialists advice). I signed myself out, luckily found a very high quality enzyme, and gained 50 pounds in 9 months. No more hyperhungry, no more cramps, and I eat my spuds every day. Boring foods, but I feel much better. Anyone relate to this?

It's not very common at all in the US or Europe, but rice allergy isn't unheard of in countries that rely more heavily on rice. I'm sorry you had to find out the hard way, though, and glad you're doing better these days.

Greetings

Grissomz I can not eat rice either.

The last rice I tryed was Minute Rice instant. Not really sure if that is gluten free or not. But I was sick for 3days vomiting and severe diarrhea, bent over with cramps.

That was within 20min of eating it :(

Rice is a big no-no for me! Last time I ate it, I wound up in the ER for anaphlaxis. It is related to grass, which I am allergic to.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
