I was wondering if most of the people with IBS-C eat brown rice rather than white rice? Does it help the BM's to eat the brown? Can the brown rice still serve as the base when eating veggies?

I felt like I was getting more C when I just ate white rice. Lately I've been eating brown rice. But I like the taste better when I mix the two.

I'm IBS-C (I think), and found that one rice cake made me gurgly and v windy....it might be because I'm not used to it though?

The only time I eat white rice is when I go out for sushi (most restaurants don't make brown rice an option)- I'm C and I do find brown rice to be better for my digestive health.

Hi Beth! Excellent question
I eat mostly white rice with a bit of brown rice pasta. I don't know if one helps more than the other cause I eat them both every day pretty much. What have you noticed?
I don't think I would eat it as a base for veggies. I know if I eat brown rice pasta I usually put it in soup, like Potato Leek, so that the potato takes care of the whole grain aspect.
Let us know how brown rice works out for you  Good luck!

mixed with brown rice pasta together? Like half and half? How does that taste?
For some reason, I thought you were eating brown rice from earlier posts (when I did a search on brown rice) because of something to do with glycemic index? Am I wrong? Did you used to do brown rice, but found that it didn't agree with you?
Do you follow a GF diet, is that why you eat rice pasta. I do the GF diet, such was wondering if you did too so I could get some menu suggestions from you!
I wasn't sure if I could use the brown rice pasta as a base for the veggies or not. But all the white rice seems to be a constipating effect. I know that it is part of the BRAT diet for D, so not sure how it can help the chronic C!

it justs lists rice, period, on the list and doesn't distinguish between brown and white so I am a little confused as to which it is referring to. Sorry about all this.
And I have read several posts on people who have reported that the white foods have caused them C. So, I just wanted to get some feedback from the C folks in order to educate myself better.
As you know from my previous posts, I am having a lot of difficulties getting throught this C and I am only trying to figure this whole thing out by wracking my brain with any possible thing I may be doing wrong or that I could try differently.
I know you are all frustrated, but this IBS is frustrating to figure out, see please bare with me. I'm sorry. I'm trying my best!

when you only eat the brown rice without the white? Are you able to have Insoluble veggies with the brown rice too? Or can you only have the insoluble veggies with the white rice?
