Then you were led to believe wrongly. There is more to food intolerance
than just digesting. In my case, the known symptom was high blood sugar. I
had been having bad stomach pains as well which is why I sent for the test.
I don't know which food was the culprit there and I can't say for sure that
the rice was.

I sent for the test prior due to stomach pains and it turned up corn and
potatoes. I stopped eating those and my blood sugar dropped and the pains
stopped. But now those are no longer a problem.

With food intolerances, if you eat too much of something too often, you can
become intolerant to it. That was likely what was happening to me with rice
as I was eating a lot of it. And not just as a whole food. But since I had
to avoid things like cornstarch, I was having rice starch.

I am trying to be careful now not to eat corn or potatoes too often. I
suspect that potatoes became a problem following my foot injury. "Baked"
potatoes were easy to make in the microwave and I was having one almost
nightly for dinner. And for a snack I was often having some form of corn
chip with bean dip.
