brown rice / bloat

[klc9100]

i just added brown rice to my diet. it bloats the hell out of me. is this normal? will my body adjust to it, or will i just have to be swole up all the time if i'm gonna eat it?

any kind of rice usually give me a bloat feeling...it does suck in a lot of water when you cook it...plus being a complex carb with slower digestion. How does white rice effect u?

If u can afford it, black rice is sick!! ranked even better than blueberries for foods with most benefits. REAL PRICEY THOUGH...

i don't know about white rice. i don't really like rice at all. i don't usually eat it. i just started for health benefits. i'm trying to eat clean (chicken, turkey, fish, steak, veggies, fruit & protein shakes).

u could try adding probiotics like acidophilus and/or bifidus. I sometimes take slow walk after eating when i get that feeling. maybe some gas ex

u r obviously experienced with your diet, if it gets too bad i guess your gonna have to find another complex carb with good benifits

It's the fiber - you'll get use to it.

I bought some brown rice in cups that you just microwave. It's the worse tasting thing I've every had.

Rice cooker is the way to go. I agree with the previous post about getting used to it. Just takes some time.

I usually do use a rice cooker, but I just moved and do not have all my belongings moved yet. I should be getting it this weekend.

actually to be honest i hate doing brown rice in my rice cooker.. never seems to be right so i just use the stove. need to buy a better rice cooker i guess...

I've always cooked on the stove. Takes longer but I enjoy cooking. I usually get the bloat feeling anytime I make a change in my diet. It passes within a week or two as my body adapts to the change, however.

Yeah, brown rice doesn't seem as good in the rice cooker. I really like the sticky white rice the best. I usually mix them half and half.

never used a rice cooker. does it lessen the amount of moisture in the rice when done compared to stove top cooking..?

I guess I'm just carb sensitive, but rice makes me smooth and bloated as hell. Sweet potatoes aren't as bad. Just have to keep it to a minimum.
