Wheat is not bad. It's WHOLE wheat that you need to be careful with. WHOLE-anything means Insoluble Fiber. Therefore, since the rice is "Stone Ground Whole Grain white rice" it would not be safe by itself. The whole grain is all insoluble fiber. The 'Nabisco' brand cream of rice is totally safe though!

Sometimes, this can be okay if the IF has already been minimised for you. I ate a brand of rice crackers for ages with good effect before I realised they were brown rice...they were okay for me as the "popping" of the rice made it safe enough for me. The "creaming" might make it safe enough.
But ya, white (ie. NOT whole) is always safer.

...it's just high in IF. The SF is still there, but just with more IF than you would get if it wasn't whole grain/rice.

keeping mind that I am flying high on muscle relaxers right now I have to say...whole grain WHITE rice, creamed, should be very tolerable! Whole grain white rice, oats, corn and soy are not so touchy as whole grain wheat. Cream of rice and wheat are super tolerable breakfasts!

"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
