Grains & starches
Brown rice
Generally a good choice when brown rice is prepared simply and eaten in a comfortable portion.
Why it received this rating
Brown rice provides more fiber and minerals than white rice, which can support bowel regularity. The extra fiber may feel too bulky during active nausea or bloating.
Portion and preparation guidance
Start with 1/3 to 1/2 cup cooked and increase gradually with adequate fluid.
Symptoms or considerations
Switch temporarily to a gentler grain if the bran worsens bloating, constipation, or early fullness.
