Arsenic levels in rice are currently a topic over here. One tip is to pre soak your rice before cooking, that can apparently remove up to 80% of the arsenic.

Thanks for this tip. I was wondering if there was anything that could be done.  How long do you soak it for?  Does it matter how much water you use? Sorry - just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

I've not been doing it either, but I've just read the BBC research and have resolved to do it in future! I like rice and have the coconut milk which is rice based too. So I'm probably as at risk as anyone...

You need 5:1 water and pre and post rinsing as well as the soaking. This blogger has collected the advice:

      Poo changes after 2 weeks

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Hi there, I have a few questions about my daughter who is 2 and has been gluten-free for two weeks following her diagnosis please! She was originally diagnosed due to having faecal impaction and chronic constipation. Since starting the gluten-free diet, we are still on daily movicol but she is pooping a lot more than before. Could this finally be her naturally clearing out the backlog as her digestive system is actually starting to work again? Secondly the colour of her stools has recently been a bit pinkish. It does not look like blood, but I wondered if this is normal again for a colour shift post diet change? Finally, she has had a very large tummy due to the coeliac. How long does this take to go down? Thank you!

      Celebrity Cruise for Gluten Free

      By gregoryC · Posted

      Everything I had was included in the cruise fare. The coffee at cafe al baico is not but,  ALL baked goods are! If you want a coffee, latte, or espresso the charge is $4 to $5. Not bad for some excellent coffee! The buffet and spa cafe has free coffee and drinks. Also large selection of the best ice cream, sorbet, and gelato at sea for free!  with Celebrity I don’t feel like I have a handicap.

      I love that there's wheat all over the wall paper for the gluten-free section. It looks good. Was the café included in the free meals or was that extra?
