Jenny, have you tried soaking your brown rice for 24 -48 hrs before cooking? It cooks up a lot faster, and some people find that soaked rice agrees with them better. Not sure what all happens, but stuff does come out of the rice as it soaks.
But don't let the rice sit too long at room temp. I once let a batch sit for a week on top of the fridge (warm spot)> It got semi-fermented, and when I started to cook it, what a STINK! Worse than sauerkraut! We had to open all the windows & turn on 3 fans in January. I was in the doghouse with the rest of the family. That rice got tossed. Best wishes. |

I have read that sprouting uses up the lectins in a seed.
Dosas (Indian flatbread) uses fermented rice. I made some once and though it was good, it stank too... though it was only fermented for two days. The flatbread didn't smell bad though. My dogs and chickens seems to prefer fermented grain over just plain cooked. It just 'stinks' to me.

I've not tried soaking rice. I have read that soaking it makes it easier to digest. I've decided I'm going to avoid the bulk bins for the rice though. I need to find a good brand of sweet brown rice that is as gluten free as possible. Any suggestions on what brand has worked for you?

how do you all do with beans? I have a gluten intolerance. well i assume it is a gluten intolerance. (i get lightheaded, dizzy, and generally spaced out and headache when i have wheat and other flour products.) I ate sweet brown rice and black beans today and feel pretty aweful. I have heard that some rices have gluten as well. any suggestions or advice?

You may have an issue with complex sugars. We seem to as well.
The Specific Carbohydrate Diet reduces complex sugars almost completely and we find we do better when we stick closer to it... though most of the time we do not follow it on a strict basis. However, the minute someone is not doing as well as they should, we get very strict about it. See pecanbread.com for more info. The book "Breaking the Vicious Cycle" by Elaine Gottschall is the book that the site is based on. It has helped people around the world to find health where they previously did not seem to be able to.

I'm not really sure about beans. I don't have the intense symptoms with beans that I do with gluten. However, I have multiple sclerosis, and the protein in beans (as well as in gluten & dairy) may leak through a person with MS's "leaky gut" and may cause the body to attack the myelin in the nervous system.
The last few months I had been incorporating beans that were soaked overnight and rinsed off prior to cooking to aid in their digestion. I've recently been having more problems with my MS. I don't know if it is because of the beans, or because I had been using a lot of coconut oil in my cooking. The saturated fat in coconut oil is supposed to also be really bad for MS patients. I've decided to give both legumes and coconut oil up for now. I have definitely found out that I have a hard time digesting anything with a lot of starch. I have tried everything from short grain rice, to corn products, to gluten free starches such as tapioca and potato starch. I've had problems with them all. So while there may be problems with cross contamination, etc. in bulk bins, I have found that starches themselves are a problem for me. I may consider trying the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. |

Sharky, if that was directed to me, I have no idea. I have been in and out of digestive comfort since i was a child. I had both loose stools and constipation but overall general health. later i went through a few years with anorexia (15-18yrs old) and 11 years of vegetarianism, starting in sixth grade. and i have osteopeonia (early osteoperosis) and i am only 24. so i have no idea. i know i feel aweful and spacey when i eat wheat and related food. i recently heard of the relationship between celiac and malabsorption/osteoperosis. i am getting curious...I am back to eating meat and stick to meat, quinoa, veggies and fruit. and vitamins and minerals. its all a mystery and i just stumbled upon the forum hoping for any insight.

We eat a lot of rice around here... we use up around 20lbs a month. I have tried sprouting brown rice too with great success. They taste sweeter and more nutty. |
