Anyone Have Problems With Rice?

I think rice is playing a bit of a part in my 'C' and bloating. I didn't have rice for about 4 or 5 days and I was having better bowel movements.. And since I had it yesterday I had bloating and a bit of 'C' I do eat quite a bit of rice recently after going gluten-free. Does anyone else experience this? Is it normal?

I can't eat anything with rice. I get diarrhea. My body seemed to reject the one last bit of rice I ate which was in a supplement.

There can be contamination issues with grains in general. See Tricia Thompsons study. Open Original Shared Link

Generally this seems to be a problem when something hasn't been certified gluten free, or for those sensitive to very low levels of gluten.

I cut out rice too (about a month ago) - I suspect that it was the driving force behind the "after lunch" fatigue that I thought I'd left behind. Cauliflower (pulverized by my potato masher) is a decent substitute. My husband actually said he kind of liked it. I was all for going grainfree, but resisted taking out rice and sorghum for a while. Equipped with meal plans, and lunch alternatives - it's not really that hard. There are manyPaleo recipes and blog sites out there! If you're looking for encouragement - I'd say go for it! You can always turn back if it's not for you.

Rice is one of the (very) few foods I can handle, but I can't eat regular rice. Basically, I soak it for 24 hours before preparing it (this ferments it slightly) and then I can eat it just fine. Otherwise, I'm like deb445: it exhausts me. I also take a shot of fermented something first (I'd take actual probiotic pill, but my order's on a slow mail boat...I live in the boonies).

Thanks for the tip, though, deb445 -- I'll see if I can add in cauliflower. Other options to break up the monotony would be cool.

I do just fine with rice, however i also wash it first (watch how sushi rice is washed).

      Are there any things that you enjoy eating that you can have gluten-free versions of? For example, pizza, mac & cheese, pasta, etc? If so, perhaps try to include those in your diet more until your appetite recovers. Of course cannabis is famous for improving appetites, but I would only go that direction if you have serious weight + appetite issues that you can't solve via other methods.

      Thanks for the follow up, and at least you know the cause of your health issues and can now start working towards better health! This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Test Results

      Oh, yes. When you reply with the reference ranges, please also add the units used such as mg/L or whatever. Different labs will used different units of measure just as they will deploy different reference ranges.

      Welcome to the forum, @breadbreadbaby! We cannot comment on your test numbers until you also provide the reference ranges used by the lab doing the analysis. Different labs construct the test analysis differently and used different reference ranges, Hence, there are no industry standards. You will likely have to repost the existing information in a new post as I don't think you will be able to edit your original. These two tests are the only ones that are celiac specific for which we need the reference ranges:  IgA - .98 Tissue transglutaminase IgA Ab 45.4  Urate and ferritin are not specific tests for celiac disease. Urate is a test for uric acid levels and would be something run when gout is suspected. Ferritin is an iron storage protein. Though not a celiac specific test, iron stores are often depleted in those with long term celiac disease because of the damage done to the lining of the small bowel by celiac disease. The small bowel is the portion of the intestinal track where all of the nutrition from what we eat is absorbed, including minerals like iron and the vitamins necessary to assimilate iron like B12. Many celiacs have few if any GI symptoms. This is common. We call them "silent celiacs". I was one of them. Silent celiacs are usually discovered indirectly because they develop health issues or irregular lab values indicative of vitamin and mineral malabsorption. In my case, it was elevated liver enzymes which had no other explanation. It took 13 years for me to get that figured out after the first appearance of elevated liver enzymes. By that time, I had experience significant bone demineralization.
