Rice With Gluten?

So I'm at a friend's house during a meeting, and Celiac disease is brought up when a couple people noticed I was only eating the fruit salad. One of my friends is sensitive to gluten too, so she helped describe why I could only eat certain things, but then she made an odd statement. I mentioned one thing I eat a lot of is brown rice, and she looked at me funny and said I must not be sensitive to wheat if I'm eating brown rice. I'm really confused by this, because as far as I know rice doesn't have anything to do with wheat and is gluten-free? PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong!! :blink:

All the varieties of rice ( white, brown, purple, wild rice, glutinous rice (sweet), etc are gluten free. They have nothing to do with wheat, rye or barley. They are a grain & wharf is a grain - so maybe thats what she's thinking.

That's what I thought, thanks! She gave me a huge scare about that last night though; I'm still having a lot of GI problems and have eliminated dairy out of the equation now too, but I still spend WAY too much time in the bathroom...

Of course, it's possible to have a problem with rice, or bananas or strawberries or any food.

I don't know how long you have been gluten-free, but it can take months to normalize bathroom issues. Even if it's not something you are eating, you have to get the right amount of fiber. Sometimes the good bacteria is out of whack. You could try some probiotics ( google that on the site for some ideas). Or yogurt everyday. Yogurt is something people with dairy issues can sometimes tolerate.

Moral of the story: Other people without this issue, probably do not know more than you.

Kefir is a great way to restore probiotics even if you think you are lactose intolerant!

Is she thinking the brown color is from adding soy sauce?

I'm not officially Celiac, but have gluten-intolerance, at least. I am also bothered by rice. I have just recently gotten where I can have it in a limited way. I do better with brown rice than white. And wild rice is completetly fine. But I've read wild rice is officially a GRASS and not rice. I'm curious what the other poster meant with the word "wharf". As most of know, Celiac or gluten-intolerant are rarely ONLY bothered by glutens. Multiple food no-no's are usually the case and everyone is different.

Mommida, I'm not sure what she's thinking. It just seemed really odd but since she's intolerant of gluten I thought maybe she knew something I didn't. Maybe she's just intolerant of rice too, and doesn't realize it. jststric, I'm not sure what kareng is talking about either. Maybe she could clarify what wharf is? I couldn't google anything with it, food-wise.

I think Karen made a typo with "wharf" for "wheat". :P

If I eat rice from a restaurant I won't touch it unless it is sparkling white, so I know they didn't flavor it with gluten.

No! Really! Those places at the waters edge with boats - wharfs - are made of wheat! :P

My iPad has a mind of its own.

She probably just isn't very educated on the origins of her food. My husband is one of those people.

He thought oats came from wheat. I asked him to get some oat groats at the health food store and found him asking a very confused clerk where he could find the whole wheat oats.

A lot of white rices are dusted with corn starch to keep it from being so sticky. And ENRICHED rice (enriched anything, actually) is enriched with vitamins that have corn as a carrier. Maybe she has a corn issue that she isn't aware of.

For probiotics if you have problems with dairy try a live goat yoghurt. I love it and can eat that where cows milk yoghurt makes me feel a bit ill.

That makes a little more sense... wharf.. I tried so hard to make it a food but google really insisted it was just a boat landing. :P Maybe she does have some odd allergy to something in rice itself. As for probiotics, I may just look for it in pill form from one of the natural stores. I'm really afraid to eat anything that might make stuff worse. I got diagnosed mid or late June, had issues for about a month prior to that and still haven't had two normal bowel movements in a row!! Though something is going right; I stopped losing weight, and have had to start upping the exercise again- I regained 5 of the 10lbs I lost before I hit the gluten free diet. <_< (Would have preferred they stayed lost... lol)

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      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.
