I notice I feel better after eating basmati white rice rather than the regular enriched white rice. It doesn't seem to bloat me as much. Anyone else notice a difference between differnt white rices??

Glutenous rice has more resistant starch and hence more soluble fiber. Generally speaking all white rice is fine for me and I don't experience bloating. Basmati is my favorite white rice  How long after you eat the rice do you experience bloating? Does it matter what you put on it or eat with it?

So that makes sense that it would bloat me becuase it is higher in fiber right? I am very sensitive to fiber. I usually can't have any more than 4grams at a time. I just never knew that rice had the fiber I guess because it's not on the label. How much fiber do u think a serving of enriched and basmati rice has if you could give it a number?
I usually eat my rice either totally plain with a little salt or I make my own concoction of rice, vanilla alomond milk, salt and cinnamon.
I'm wondering too if addding more water would be better ? My mom makes the enriched rice and maybe she doesn't cook it as long as I cook the basmati or add as much water as I do. Does the fiber content change if you cook it longer?

Basmati is not a particularly glutinous rice. It doesn't have as much resistant starch as glutinous rice. Generally speaking rice is not particularly high fiber. If you include the the resistant starch then rices like Basmati and enriched white rice have about 1 gram of soluble and 1 gram of insoluble fiber per 100 grams which is about 1/2 cup. Cooking has little effect on fiber content of a food.
The general rule for rice is to add twice as much water as rice and let it cook until done. Basmati rice I usually let soak for 20-30 minutes. The rice will absorb all of the water. Adding more water will just make it watery:)
One thing that caught my eye in your response was the use of cinnamon on your rice. Cinnamon powder is essentially all insoluble fiber. Even though Heather says finely ground insoluble fiber with a soluble fiber base should be safe I have never found this to be the case for me. Instead of cinnamon powder I use piece of cinnamon sticks that I remove before eating. You could probably put it in the rice while it is cooking.
