Rice?

how bad/good is rice for us?

I was told by the nutrionist that it was o.k. to eat but had to really be careful because it would gum together in stomach and could cause problems. I can eat Japanese or the Mexican rice but that is all i eat and not very much of that. Hope this helps Donna

Hi Jaymie, I am pre-op but I have learned to cook rice differently then I used to. I used to add 2 cups of rice to 4 cups of water. Now I add 1 cup of rice to 4 cups of water. I end up with very close to the same volume but half the rice and its softer and less sticky. You might try this and see if it works for you. Sharon

sounds good! I will give it a shot...

I have always been a white rice lover. But! I eat it on very very rare occasions now after my surgery. Why, you ask... I am extremely serious about getting my protein in, and rice will fill you up and add no real protein (but some serious carbs and calories) to your daily intake... Now, if I go to the Thai restaurant, then I cannot NOT have me some rice! If I go for sushi, I have very little of the rice so I don't get full and can have even more sushi Angie http://www.geocities.com/tiger_angie
