Feeling Better. Can Rice Cause Problems?

[adambryant]

I've been gluten-free for about 6 weeks now, and feeling quite a lot better, I haven't been medically diagnosed, bnut my mum has it and I think its been passed to me. I feel quite a bit better, the BAD flatulence has totally gone since the new diet, the 'C' is getting better and the feeling of fullness all day long is decreasing! I'm just wondering does anyone have problems with rice? It seems like when I eat it, it comes out in my stool(yuck I know). I've had my stool tested all came back ok. Also I seem to be more constipated after rice. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes. Rice turns out to be too hard on my gut. I'm on a grain-free diet, but I don't have problem with corn as much as I have with rice.

Ahhh okay thanks. Are you going to go back on grains in the dfuture? I guess gluten-free bread and pasta causes you problems then?

[Persei V.]

I intend to go back to grains in the future, but maybe not so close future. I created tons of several other intolerances because I kept insisting on grains and things I couldn't tolerate (now I can't eat almonds or flaxseed or too many eggs) and there's a lot of healing to do.

And yes, my diet is bread and pasta free. Basically I eat fruit, meat, veggies, eggs and juice.

My super sensitive daughter could eat white rice but not brown. Even white rice will cause her some problems occasionally.

I also have a question about this. It seems when I accidentaly get "glutened" I can't keep anything but meat (esp wild game) in my system. EVERYTHING else comes out without being digested. Is this common with everyone else?

Just a tip, it wont come out in one piece in your stool if you chew it into juice before you swallow it :!) 50% of the problem all of us have/had in the first place is not chewing food like those silly slow eaters we used to laugh at.. Who is laughing now ?? not me that's for sure, I now eat slower than my painfully slow eating wife.

Maisie, yes the more organy and less muscle and in general more gross the meat the better it digests. Chicken doesn't digest as well as red meat, not even close for me. Fish is somewhere in between. Red meat seems to induce high powered stomach acid after a couple of days too. that's good, not sure why that happens but that's what it does to me. I actually ate wheat the other day for the first time in 3 years and suprise suprise.. it did absolutely nothing to me.. Got really sick as usual eating corn the day after for a crazy test though . Just proves once you have gone long enough to have no antibodies to something any more it can't hurt you any more either (for a while..)

After reading these post, I'm wondering if anyone has checked out 'leaky gut syndrome'? It's what gluten does to our digestion. It took a 10 week cleanse to repair my intestines. If the intestine repairs, then initially gluten and other offenders, in my case, casein and soy, don't seem to cause a problem! However, if you continue even an occasional use, the intestine breaks down again! Please look up leaky gut and please be careful!

Muse, 10 weeks is not long enough for someone who's really sick with leaky gut, it takes more like 9 months being very strict. Your body doesn't forget about antibodies to food proteins overnight. Your gut is lined with mast cells and when they see a protein they know about, it's all action to get rid of it... even if your gut is healed.. technically you will still get sick for as long as you have antibodies to the food protein. It's a months or years long process
