Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) White rice       #361362 - 10/11/10 05:57 AM Edit Reply Quote Allisonmary Reged: 01/03/04 Posts: 533 Can white rice actually aggravate IBS? I stopped eating white rice for a week becase I didn't have any and I felt much better. Yesterday I had some and today I feel sick becasue I feel like I need to go to the bathroom and cant completely go. COuld it be because I ate the white rice without anything else and maybe its too low in fiber?

It is one of the first solid foods recommend for babies because it is so easy to digest. What else did you eat yesterday and the day before? -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: White rice       #361364 - 10/11/10 07:15 AM Edit Reply Quote Allisonmary Reged: 01/03/04 Posts: 533 Safe white bread with peanut butter, banana, pastina, thomas mini bagels with smart balance light, the white rice, almond milk, a little sweet potato and rice, small amoutn of grilled chicken. I drank a little no HFCS 100%cranberry juice and pure coconut water and safe hot cocoa. The day before was similar except I did eat a half of an applesauce which I dont usually do becasue of the fructose but I cant imagine all this trouble is from the applesauce. Ive been eating all these things the last week and felt fine. The only addition really was the white rice.

Don't underestimate the effect small amounts of excess fructose can have on individuals that have problems with it. I use to think I could handle small amounts with no difficulty - unfortunately over the years I have learned otherwise -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: White rice       #361368 - 10/11/10 08:57 AM Edit Reply Quote renee21 Reged: 06/02/05 Posts: 486 Loc: Toronto, Ontario, Canada I find white rice quite constipating. If I ate it along with the rest of what you ate that day I'd be totally blocked up. Are you a C or a D? If you are a C I'd think you should add some more SF. -------------------- IBS-C, lots of spasm and trapped gas.

I have the incomplete bowel emptying most when I don't have adequate soluble fiber. I'd be surprised if it was just one serving of applesauce that set you off. How about trading some white rice for some fiber?

There's an interesting study in the research library here on rice and constipation. -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

I find white rice a wonderful buffer for IF. Can you handle any IF? Mixed in with the rice it works great. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "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!

Is white rice be aggravating for that?

White rice should be fine - it contains SF and IF in roughly equal amounts. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: White rice       #361395 - 10/12/10 04:41 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Here is a recent study of Japanese women that confirms the findings of the study in the library.

Is it possible they are referring to water retention - since carbs do retain more water in your system. So if you eat a dinner involving a lot of rice, you may feel more bloated with water the next day than if you ate a more protein-heavy meal. Especially if the rice is combined with salt i.e sushi with soy sauce. -------------------- IBS-C, lots of spasm and trapped gas.

Dunno... Also, I am guessing that white rice would be the safest as brown rice is still more IF and that may cause problems, but not for someone who was healthy.. as for bread and constipation. the mind boggles even more. -------------------- Susie, born in 1985, (pseudo-)D and bloating April 2007-December 2010, now stable Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all)
