e,

just make it with water or a good quality nut milk as you would a hot cocoa

drink... carob is gluten free anyway...

My son can't digest brown rice. I don't know why -- if it is an additive

or the bran itself, but no one really gets along with it. Maybe if

it was fermented ...

In the alternative health world in Japan, fermenting brown rice is all the rage

according to a Japanese friend of mine. She told me the procedure but I can't

remember it. Something like soaking in warm water, then changing the water to

cold water. Takes a couple of days I think. Basically they ferment until there

are bubbles in the water. I just use kefir whey and ferment about 12 years - we

don't have a problem with it. I remember once, my sister doing some kind of

cleanse/fast that involved enemas and she said that what came out was all

undigested brown rice!! So I guess some people don't digest it that well.

It apparently isn't a good source of nutrition anyway. Accoridng to the

MedLine Plus Encyclopedia, brown rice is the number one least usable source of

B6

(pyridoxine), averaging it at something like 11%! Animal products on average

were 10% more usable than plant products, but the most usable sources were

plant sources, the king being rye. Of course the only animal products they used

were eggs and milk powder.

THAT would probably do it. I gave up on brown rice. I don't know how the

macrobiotic people manage it. Personally I don't like rice all that much and I

don't think I NEED it, so it's not worth the bother.

You have to wonder where it would be *stored*. After seeing a colonoscopy ...

the person would have to have dead-end pouches or something.
