Hello Dragonfly and Syl. Thank you for your replies! Dragonfly it is reassuring to hear that perhaps rice isn't for everybody. I know I have to trust my body, but I wondered if I might be missing some other cue since "everybody" says that rice should be good for me.
I don't know what your abbreviations mean, Syl. The GI doctor says that I have an irritable everything. I get indigestion and heartburn, as well as IB symptoms. I do not have any complicating factors such as colitis, ulcers, celiac, etc.
I eat my rice with salt and with veggies. I went on the Vicious Cycle Diet for 9 months - no grains or complex carbohydrates of any sort, and that is when I felt the best and everything was under control. Once I started feeling really good, I started craving carbohydrates and unfortunately went a little crazy and got really sick again. I've never been able to sustain that restricted diet to such an extent since, and hence have not felt well.
It does seem that all grains - gluten free or not - are triggers for me.
