Hi Everyone;
I was hoping someone out there might have a little info
or experience with the food Saffron Yellow Rice you can
buy at the store. Since I started mass producing kidney stones 2 years ago I now have IBS, Diverticulitus, high blood pressure, diabetes. I think that's it..lol
Anyway, I have only been able to eat white rice and the cheap yucky white bread (which I really can't stand.
I am a wheat bread person).. A couple of weeks ago my husband made some Sausage and Yellow Rice for he and
my son.. and I thought "Hey, that's pretty close to
the white rice, right?" Well, I am not sure what
happened but it made my diverticulitus kick in but not
my IBS. Can anyone tell me what is in the Saffron
Yellow Rice that would do that? Is the Saffron the
culprit? I mean I looked Saffron up on the internet
and I couldn't get a lot of info on it. Mostly stuff
about it being a flower and how to grow it. The one
picture I did see made it look almost like a long
Sunflower seed, but I would think that when cooking
it that would change the hardness of it to soft right?
Has anyone had any experience eating this? I would
love to eat it because it would be a change from
the plain yellow rice I eat every day. I am so tired
of the rice and bread I could scream. But with these
stones passing every day these are the only things
that I can eat that won't completely saddle me to the bathroom. Now and then I try things hoping I might find something I can add to my food list but then I pay for
it for at least 3 days. So I have almost given up.
Thanks for any info all of you might have on this. I
am also adding to this post a question I had posted
about 5 days ago. Just hoping someone might be able
to shed some light on my question.
*** I am wondering about this drug Levsin that I am on.
I have been on it for more than a year and at first it worked pretty well, but lately I have noticed that it
may not be working as well. Is it possible to build up
a tolerance to this medication? I mean I know you can
with other medications. Also, is there anyone else out there taking this drug and what is your experience
with it? I am on the 0.125mg tab four times a day.
Thanks for any info...
God Bless!
Hope this post is finding all of you having a pain
free day!
Best Regards;
Stacy Troutman

I'm at a loss for why the rice could of bothered you, the sausage on the other hand would be the obvious culprit for me. I assume you didn't eat any sausage but maybe the spices mixed in? If the rice was a mix, maybe there was more fat in it than you can tolerate.
About Levsin, someone recently posted about it on the ibs diet board, also there have several posts about it in the past. You should do a search. Hope you feel better.

Sorry Dan;
I didn't state that I didn't eat any of what my husband
made because of the sausage in it.. I made the Saffron Yellow Rice by itself a different day. Thanks for the
info on the Levsin I will definitely search the
history for posts. Thanks for reminding me I could
do that.
Hope you're doing well.
Best Regards;
Stacy
