Sweet Rice

Hello. I am having some difficulty today and am wondering what's going on. I've eaten the Lundberg farms Wild Rice blend that contains long grain brown rice, sweet brown rice, wild rice bits, Wehani, and Black Japonica.

I've realized that my gluten reaction is emotional. I get either really angry or really sad. I've been furious all day today with absolutely no reason so... I'm wondering.

There's a book called "Healing with Whole Foods" by Paul Pitchford and although it does say some clearly idiotic things like "those with gluten intolerance -even celiacs- can usually tolerate spelt" - I think that, he does have generally intelligent things to say about foods. He notes that celiacs should avoid sweet rice because it is a highly glutinous grain.

Does glutinous mean "sticky" or "containing gluten" ? I always thought it was talking about gluten, but that's not the correct association (according to Websters).

Does anyone else have troubles with sweet rice?

Another thing this could be is that I've ingested another of the foods that I'm allergic to (I know. I'm a moron.) - sesame oil. It has caused me amazing physical/joint pain today. I know the pain is associated with it because it always happens that way - eat foods I'm allergic to, expect inflammation. So.. maybe the anger is from that..?

I don't know. But I'd love to know what your take is on all this! (Particularly the sweet rice!)

Thanks

"glutinous" rice is fine. it does just mean that it is a sticky rice. technically ALL grains contain gluten - because gluten is just the technical term for a plant protein. we use it vernacularly to refer to wheat, barley, rye, and oats because that's what the intolerance is called, and the major gluten used in... the western world, is wheat derived.

dipping into the sesame oil probably didn't help, but i know it's a hard ingredient to avoid!

I love rice...I don't have problems with it either.

However, Kristina is correct...rice does contain gluten and all grains contain gluten but only the certain proteins in some of those grains cause us problems.

If you have a problem with rice it would not be celiac related but you should stay away from it if it causes issues

Okay. Thanks for the interpretation :)

The whole thing started with this (really yummy) mix of that wild rice, soy sauce, chicken, and gluten-free teriyaki sauce from Premier Japan (ingredients: Filtered Well Water, Wheat-free Tamari, Dehydrated Cane Juice, Apple Cider Vinegar, Ginger Root, Toasted Sesame Oil, Salt, Tapioca Starch, Garlic, Lemon Juice Concentrate, Spices, Onion Flakes, Xanthan Gum, Ginger Extract). The stuff is crazy good and I've been using it just about every day - much to the irritation of my body (my wrist in particular). Anyway - if you guys don't have a sesame problem, you should try it! It's kind of buttery (though I can't figure out how.. but *really* good).

Tiffany - this has led me to go and buy some mirin to make *your* teriyaki sauce! (Yay! No sesame oil! :)) Do I need to be concerned if it doesn't say "gluten free" on the bottle? It's from Eden. Ingredients: Water, Rice, Koji (Aspergillus Orzae), Sea Salt. Thanks for posting this recipe! It looks tasty!

Thanks guys :)

Like regular wine, I haven't worried about whether or not mirin specifically say "gluten-free" on the bottle. (I use the same brand you picked up.)

I don't remember the exact quantities I put in that recipe, but if it's not quite to your liking, I'd encourage you to futz with it as necessary. I like extra ginger, and my husband likes plenty of pineapple juice in it. (If I had a can of crushed pineapple the last time I made it, I would have used that.) And the other thing I was reminded of the last time I made it... it keeps thickening after it cools! I had made a REALLY thick... paste by the time I turned off the heat and let it cool down. :-) Oops. (I just thinned it out with some pineapple juice and it was all good. ;-) )

Thanks for the extra instruction!! I was thinking that I should have asked you about adding extra ginger right after I hit that "Add Reply" button (doh!) - thanks for reading my mind ;) I looooove ginger and will probably add too much and go bliss crazy! :wub:

Have you ever added garlic? Or used maple syrup instead of sugar? I'm just wondering about delicious variations... (yum!)

Thanks again!!

lol... ginger's good stuff (though I can only take so much candied ginger at a time...)

garlic? nope, not in the sauce itself, but on the items I cook with it. it'd probably be fine.

maple syrup... ehhh... no. :-D I don't think the richer taste of the maple syrup would hold up well against the salt in the soy sauce, but I'm not a big maple syrup fan, so I'm sure I'm biased. Agave would work fine, as would a light (not dark) honey. I've used fructose before, to reduce the quantity, and last time, to add even more pineapple (we should have just grilled pineapple rings... really), I used pinapple jam.

If you try the maple syrup, let us know how it turns out! I know there are lots of others on the board who love the stuff.

Okay! I made it! :) :) :)

Haven't actually eaten it yet - but here's what I did. (Tasting all the way :9)

I followed Tiffany's instructions, but then umm... *doubled* the ginger amount (I kept tasting it and it just didn't seem gingery enough!) and used dark brown sugar instead of white sugar. By the end of the cooking, it was tasting pretty yummy! :wub: Then I put it in a plastic container and thought.. 'hey! I have an idea!' and put a slice of candied ginger in the bottom. Oh, and I doubled the recipe so hopefully that one slice wont be too overpowering.

I made it while I was eating quinoa so I'm not hungry enough to try it now :angry: What was I thinking? :rolleyes:

Anyway, I'm going to try it over brown rice w/chicken later. I'm kinda scared though! All that ginger! :blink:

LOL I was kind of like that little girl making cookies with her mom who puts in 3 cups of sugar instead of one... :P I hope I didn't mess it up!! :)

I'm so excited! Thanks Tiffany!!! :)

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
