I wasn't raised in a home where we ate alot of rice, and over the years I suppose I grew a dislike for the taste and texture of it. Now going on 6 years of IBS, I feel I almost have to start eating new things to avoid bordem and the constant worry of what to eat.
I am certainly open to trying new foods..but whats the best way to go about it? Any certain recipies to get me used to the texture perhaps? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Hi Anne,
This is a tricky one as it's such a personal thing, tastes, but here goes...
Try different types of rice. Plain old long-grain is safe, but a bit boring. Basmati has a lovely subtle flavour. There's different types, like saffron, that have more flavour as well. Also, risotto rices, like carnaroli (dodgy spelling!) and arborio, give a smoother, more glutinous texture which some people prefer.
Also try rice as a side dish and then as an integral part of a meal, like with a risotto. Or maybe something more strongly flavoured, like stroganoff.
Hope this helps. Have you trawled through the recipe index?
