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!!! :)

Oh - one more thing I did was sprinkle in a little garlic. It didn't make it taste better :P I don't think I used enough to cause any major problems - but def. wont do that again!

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein. Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep.  One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem.  Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read, do a sudoku or some other small task, and then go back to bed when she felt sleepy again.  I can't think it did her any harm - she lived  well into her nineties. Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
