The package of Barilla Orzo says 8-2oz servings....so that is 1/4 cup right? And is that 1/4 cup dry or cooked? Does it really BULK up in volume like other rice & pasta do, or does it pretty much stay the same size as when it is dry? I'm I making any sense? LOL

It will bulk up quite a bit to where it is almost the size of a grain of rice. I love cooking orzo...adding a little olive oil, a bunch of shrimp and spinach.
The heat from the orzo will wilt the spinach...that with a little parmesan (which ever you can tolerate) makes for one yummy meal!

It should say whether the serving is cooked or uncooked but I believe that means uncooked and when cooked it will be bigger but still supposedly feed 8 people.

"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!
