Grains & starches
White rice
Can fit, but the portion, preparation, or current symptoms may change how white rice feels.
Why it received this rating
White rice is low in fiber and often easy to digest during nausea or diarrhea, but it provides less fiber and may raise blood sugar faster than intact whole grains.
Portion and preparation guidance
Use about 1/3 to 1/2 cup cooked and pair it with lean protein and vegetables.
Symptoms or considerations
Very large bowls can crowd out protein and may cause a rapid glucose rise, especially for people with diabetes.
Individual tolerance varies. This rating is general educational guidance, not a statement that this food is the right choice for your personal medical needs. Follow advice from your prescriber or registered dietitian.
