Does rice cause nausea?

Does rice cause nausea? Hmmm, that’s a weird one. I wouldn’t say it causes it, but… it can definitely make things worse sometimes, can’t it? Like, if you’re already feeling queasy, a big pile of rice might be a bit much. My grandma swore by it, though. Whenever I was sick as a kid, it was rice, rice, baby! And honestly, sometimes it did help. Especially if I’d been throwing up a lot – something bland like rice could be kind of comforting. But other times? Ugh, just the thought of it made me want to hurl. I remember one time specifically, I had a nasty stomach bug, and my mom made me this HUGE bowl of rice. I barely managed two bites before I was running for the bathroom. Definitely learned my lesson about portion control that day! I think the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) has some merit, but it’s so…blah. Like, where’s the protein? Where’s the flavor? You need more than just bland carbs to actually recover, right? A little bit of scrambled egg or some plain chicken can make a world of difference. Small, frequent meals are definitely key, too. So, no, I don’t think rice causes nausea, but it’s not a magic bullet either. It’s all about listening to your body, I guess.
