sensitive to rice?

i have been on a food elimination diet to find out what is causing me to have sever bloating and jabbing pains in my stomach/lower abdomen after i eat what feels like any food. its possible that rice may be the main culprit - as a vegan i eat a lot of it and have done for many years. i have heard that eating too much of a certain food can create allergies to that food. does anyone know if that is true or heard of rice causing such a severe and long term reaction???

I wish I had an answer for you. Do you eat other grains - they are usually more likely to cause those symptoms than rice is. Having said that, nothing is impossible.


I guess your best bet is to eliminate rice over a period of time and then see how you feel (or what happens when you try to eat it after a few months of being rice-free).


Please post again to let us know how things are going,
