The idea that the starch in rice and potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods is completely digested in the small intestine is an old idea that is no longer considered correct. As a result of these and other findings the food labeling regulations changed. You can read more about these changes in this message . When cooked and then cooled rice produces a resistant starch - a starch that acts like a SF. Resistant starch is not digested in the small intestine but is fermented by colonic bacteria. Resistant starch can account for 10-15% of the starch found in rice, potatoes, pasta and other starchy foods.
