Yes, I have good luck with brown rice too, Mara. And with the anti-diarrhea
action that rice has we get a double benefit. But white rice will give a
lot of people, celiacs and non-celiacs, gas. Brown rice doesn't do that.

Plus I remember a macrobiotic granola head back in the late sixties who
used to chant the mantra: If you eat brown rice you don't have the death
wish :) It seems that is the one food that is balanced between Yin and Yang
for microbiotic diets. -vance
