What Causes Abdominal Discomfort After Having Rice?
We had some take-out food last night. I think I ate plastic rice. My stomach seems like it s continually bubbling inside. But I don t feel any pain, should I be worried? What can I do to help my body if I have eaten plastic rice? Please help shed some light. Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor Service. I reviewed your query and here is my answer. If you were my patient, i would say there is no need to worry about it. Its not a big deal. Its normal because of fermentation of rice by bacteria which produce gas and that gas when moving in intestine produce such sounds. so you need to take less amount of rice or avoid it for some times if it bothers you. And don't swallow it full, crush and grind it as much as you can and don't take any fluids after rice immediately. Hope i answered your question. Feel free to ask more if you need any help. Thanks.
