Does it matter if the rice you are eating while doing TED is white or brown? I have been eating white rice but I noticed most other rice products are made with brown rice. My sister has IBS and has not been eating brown rice because it makes it flare up. I didn’t know if it would have the same effect for reflux.

I only eat/ate brown rice but I don’t think it matters. I hope someone else chimes in.

Sorry I’m not much help.

I think really the only difference in the 2 is a nutritional difference. Meaning that the brown rice is loaded with fiber which is why it would irritate IBS. I am a dietitian and of course we always promote brown rice over white, but I am not sure when it comes to TED but I would think you would be fine with brown just may increase gas b/c of the fiber?? HTH.

I consider Erin to be the Queen of TED, so if brown works for her, than

brown or white should be fine!!!

Thanks for all the replies! I tried some rice pasta today that was made with brown rice so we will see how it goes!
