Wild Rice - Safe?
Hello all! Is wild rice generally considered safe for us? It's tempting to use in soups and casseroles.

Hi Karis,
Yes and no. It's safe for us after we've been in remission for a while so that we can tolerate the extra fiber (wild rice or brown rice has much more fiber than white rice, because of the hull). While we're still recovering, most of us would have trouble handling all the fiber.
Another couple of considerations is ease of digestion and arsenic content. What's called glutenous rice is significantly easier to digest (especially while we're still reacting), because of the type of starch it contains. Also, glutenous rice usually has a significantly lower arsenic content than other types of rice.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
