Side effects of Cauli Rice

[Reemap]

hello All,

I read somewhere that cauliflower rice can give side effects like gas, kidney stones and allergies. Is it true ?

Don't believe everything you read especially on the net.

I always take such articles on cauliflower with a pinch of salt.

That includes the link below.

I’m sure if you looked online enough, you’d find something bad about every single food item. Causing issues with organs, illness and cancers.

My hubby who has colloid colitis can't eat cauliflower (and lots of other veg) it cripples him with pain and the rest of the household with noxious gases for days after lol. Also my brother is on waferin and although he eats it in small quantities he has to be careful he doesn't eat too much of it - me I'm fine on it and eat it most days in some sort of shape or form

I eat a lot of cauliflower but I don't make it into "rice", I can't see the point in smashing it to bits. It doesn't have any adverse effects on me, my wife complains about the smell but that's the cooking not me (I think).

Wow. First off, any food that contains fiber can cause gas. The more your gut bacteria is used to being fed fiber, the better it is at handling it. So, suddenly increasing fiber is not a good idea...bloating and gas will result.

Second, the bigger sources of purine are alcohol (yeast and fermented yeast) and red meat. Cauliflower is pretty far down the list as gout trigger.

Lastly, you can develop an allergy to any food. There are some more common allergy triggers, such as shellfish. But, cauliflower isn’t any more of a risk than most other foods.

So, I rate that article as “true, but extremely misleading.” Someone just hates cauliflower. LOL.

If you have any concerns about cauliflower (I think boredom would be at the top of my list) then you can vary it with broccoli, finely shredded greens, brussels sprouts, grated celeriac...

I like making cauliflower pizzas - I eat the whole lot. FOD map foods are known to cause bloating and wind. This was well documented in Food Unwarpped (19th August 2019) https://www.channel4.com/programmes/food-unwrapped/on-demand/67949-031 (this has another 22 days of viewing, or on Sky catchup).. After 16 minutes an MRI scan shows which foods cause gas. The scan on the left was taken, followed by a carb based drink. 5 hours later the second scan was taken to show the gut reaction on the right:
