How Do You Cope With A Rice Allergy?

[VioletBlue]

Sigh . . . sigh . . . siiiggghhhhhhhh . . .

I just can't cope with this. That it's now rice that is bothering me is the only thing that makes sense. I don't want to believe it, but that has to be it. Based on what I've eaten and the timing it seems to be the only answer. I don't know what to do without rice? How on earth? It's everything with rice in it, from plain rice to rice bread crumbs to rice flour . . .

Now it's possible that I may be able to tolerate potatoes. I tried some organic fries the other day after having been nightshade free for at least a year and had no reaction to them. I'm reluctant to push that, but I'm hopeful. The usual reaction to nightshades has been gurgling, gas and all sorts of other horrid things. That's the reaction I seem to be having to rice now. RICE?

How do those of you who have a rice allergy or intolerance cope? What do you eat instead?

Most importantly, anyone wanna buy some rice off me? I have so much rice, so many rice products, SEVEN FREAKING BOXES OF RICE CRUMBS! Who knew?

That would make me very upset!

Off the top of my head:

Sorghum can replace rice in any baking recipe. There's also millet, buckwheat, teff, amaranth, the starches.

Quinoa pilaf.

Kasha (buckwheat porridge).

Cornmeal and parmesan for breading.

Against the Grain products, made from tapioca and mozzarella.

Alas, I lived in denial of rice intolerance for quite awhile. Sigh.....

I am now SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) and doing so much better!!

I found myself sensitive to rice (all grains, actually) after going gluten-free. I stayed off grains including rice for almost a year--probably 10 months at least. At that point, I was able to tolerate rice again--I try not to over do it, though.

I just did without--eating sweet and white potatoes and winter squashes for something starchy. I even figured out a recipe for chocolate chip cookies that used only potato starch for when I really needed a treat.

Here is a delicious rice free bread recipe. I make it every week. And its easy! Rise an hour and bake 20 minutes.

Turn it into crumbs.

I make egg free french toast with it.

Slice it into bread sticks.

I haven't yet tried it for pizza crust but I might get around to it soon.

You can buy Quinoa or corn pasta. Walmart has corn spaghetti and its really good.
