When ‘Healthy’ Multigrain Rice Starts Messing with Your Digestion

wikitree Views  

While multigrain rice is considered a health food, consuming it excessively can harm your health.

Multigrain rice is rich in vitamins and minerals and is often considered a highly nutritious option. However, moderation is important. Overconsumption can negatively affect your body.

People with sensitive digestive systems, including children, should be cautious. The high fiber content in multigrain rice can slow digestion and reduce nutrient absorption. Adding brown rice increases fiber even more, which can lead to gas, bloating, and stomach discomfort. Those with poor digestion should reconsider a heavy intake of multigrain rice.

For individuals with kidney problems, white rice may be a better option. The phosphorus in multigrain rice can be difficult for weakened kidneys to process, potentially leading to itching, joint pain, and decreased bone strength. White rice is safer in such cases, but portion control is still necessary.

Multigrain rice contains significant fiber -100 grams can contain 5 to 8 grams. One meal can provide 15 to 20 grams, nearing the daily recommended intake of 20 to 25 grams. Excess fiber can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals, making it essential to monitor intake.

A good multigrain mix includes five types of grains. Research shows this combination provides balanced nutrition with proteins, minerals, and polyphenols. Using too many kinds of grains can reduce nutritional value and make digestion more difficult.

A recommended multigrain to white rice ratio is 40:60 or 30:70. If children experience stomach issues or loose stools after eating multigrain rice, reduce the amount or change the types of grains used. Excessive dietary fiber and digestive problems can cause discomfort in children or individuals with sensitive stomachs.
