How good is rice flour if I have SIBO?
Let’s dive into a practical review of rice flour, especially if you're managing SIBO or just seeking a balanced diet
Rice flour is a popular gluten-free alternative, but let’s be clear: it’s not a miracle food. Metabolically, rice flour can raise blood sugar levels just like wheat flour, meaning it’s a quick carb that can lead to spikes in blood glucose. For people with SIBO, managing blood sugar is key to avoiding inflammation or gut dysregulation. While rice flour can be a handy short-term fix—say, if you’re experiencing diarrhea and need a bland, easy-to-digest option—daily reliance isn’t ideal. It lacks fiber and micronutrients that whole foods provide.
So, use it sparingly—especially if you’re healing your gut—and always stay mindful of your overall blood sugar balance.
At Recetas SIBO, we guide you in mindful portioning—so you can explore alternatives, but always tailor them to your unique gut and metabolic needs.
