Mother survives on diet of just rice

The list of food she's unable to tolerate sounds almost like a severe case of Celiac's Disease. My mother cannot digest wheat, gluten, milk, and yolk. The only reason she cannot have milk or yolk anymore is due to the fact it took about five years before a proper diagnose. Inside that span of time, it ravages your intestines.

Millions of people in the world lived almost solely on rice in the past. She oughta be really healthy aside from her food allergies. I was thinking the same thing, about rice being the main staple of millions. Still is in some parts. Not sure how healthy it would be though to never have anything else.

So this has been going on for years... Yet her body has maintained muscle mass and been able to repair and fight off other sickness with pretty much no protein or vitamins? Suspicious husky is suspicious. My exact thought. For everyone who says people do this all the time, keep in mind that they do have occasional meats and vegetables on top of it.

Would only be healthy from a cardiovascular/low fat aspect. Wasn't excluding all of the essentials but rice has most of them if prepared properly. If you want to get glitchy, how about an allergy eval, a systems eval for underlying disease,and someone more well versed than a nutritionist? In that age group woman, how about a psychological evaluation, how about an endocrinologist to look at hormone changes or levels. What about an abusive situation not discussed. ad infinitum. I was just trying to see the positive. I didn't fall off the truck yesterday.

Surely she must be supplementing/taking vitamins somewhere in there...

I would imagine it be an asian women.

Surely she must be supplementing/taking vitamins somewhere in there... Agreed. Her condition probably requires her to take some kind of supplement (though I think her body would reject that) or get a direct injection into her bloodstream to get other essential vitamins she needs.

Hello Everyone! I thought you may like an update on the subject of Micaela Stafford. I have been treating her since June this year - having heard of her plight from the paper.
