Risotto
Has anyone had bad experiences with risotto rice? Twice now it made me as sick
as a dog. Nausea, flatulence and heartburn (which I never get).

Did you eat just the rice? or did you eat real “risotto”? Real risotto
sometimes contains cow dairy (butter & parmesan cheese), so if you’re
really sensitive to dairy then that might be it. If arborio rice by
itself is making you sick, my thought is that it might be bad in some
way. Either it’s old or really high in pesticides or some other toxin.
Try washing the rice five timesthe water should stay clear. Soak it
overnight, drain, and rinse again before cooking. That’s all I can
think of right now.

I thought risotto was pasta? So, maybe it’s wheat. Not sure, tho.
What about tapioca flour? I ate something with that ingredient. No
adverse affects. I’ll confess… they are wheat & gluten free
shortbread cookies! I’ll post the brand when I have a box around.

You are thinking of orzo or “pasta rice.” Tapioca is a neutral for
secretors and avoid for nonnies.

Ryan, I made my own risotto with compliant stuff, no avoids. I think I am
sensitive to the rice itself. Parboiled polished rice also doesn’t agree with
me, I cough terribly afterwards and get somewhat asthmatic. Will rather stick
to basmati.
Thanks anyway.
