Hi there! I've been gone for the summer: well actually I'm still gone, but I'm starting to wind down the summer, and we get back to our home in AZ Sept 7.
I've missed everyone, and haven't browsed much yet to see what I've missed. But I saw the post about rice and had to jump in, in case any of what my weirdness is pertinent to you. Take what's helpful, if anything! . . .
I don't tolerate rice either. But a couple things have helped the last 2-3 months: I'm really conscious of how much sulfite I'm eating per day; and if I stay below a certain level, I can handle some rice. (White rice, not enriched or brown) Also, if I add a 1/2 t. of flax oil to it, I don't have any problems from eating it. If I watch the sulfite levels, I can even eat wheat, and other gluten containing things that I used to have to be 100% free of. I was really sensitive to rice, too - it was the sure-fire way to get a ground-glass-like bm experience.
Before learning about sulfites- tapioca flour, potatoes, and sweet potatoes were the only starches I could use. Cashew flour also, I guess, in some cookies.
Anyway, I hope you get some of your triggers figured out! Marsha
Polly - could it be rice?
