Kate
news.Individual.net finally caught up with me, but they use pay pal now
as well as T lick so I got another 10 euros worth ;)
So I guess you are stuck with me for another year.

As Kate say's it is expensive but I mix it with normal long grain but
after reading that web site I am going to try it with brown basmati?

To some one who eats and likes rice as her staple diet to be told you
should stop eating rice will be a total shock. Very different from being
told you have to give up ket like sweets biscuits and cake that should
have been used as a treat not a staple food to live off.
Like Potatoes for us, Rice can be part of the diet although you have to
alter first the amount and secondly the rest of the meal must take over
from being the extra to being the main part of the meal. I have been
through her some of her posts on ada and she does not like veg well she
is not alone there I hate all veg and most fruit so I can sympathise with
that. The lady does like fish though so if she goes for oily fish along
with meat the oils and fat should help slow the carb down and if she were
to mix her rice using the one she loves that may be high plus a lower GI
one with the oil from the fish or fat from the meat she may be able to
get away with it.
As said on here so many times we are each different in the way this
disease hits us she may be lucky and get away with things others can not
and only she can find out by her testing and experimenting.
There will always be more lurkers than posters on a newsgroup but as the
British born Asian population grows in this country I have often wondered
why we have had no posts from them, could it be because they expect us to
know nothing about their diet requirements? So we could learn from this
as well. If the Basmati/wild rice mix works I already will have.
As for the ada crap about the identity crisis who cares if the right
questions were being asked?

Everything's worth trying.

I'm somewhat limited in what I can use to things that mother can
digest (just for me I probably wouldn;t bother with rice since I ate
enough when I was a vegetarian hippy (man) she doesn't like brown rice
though I haven't tried wild rice (probably too much roughage)

I can get away with basmati especially and other long grain types BUT
I need to eat a sufficiently small portion AND it works better al
dente, not cooked to the point it starts to become floury.

My portion size is sufficiently small that it wouldn't be worth
bothering with if I was just cooking for myself

About the only grain or grain-like thing I can handle in normal
quantities is quinoa, this may be worth a try (test though as some
folks get a spike from it), it may be expensive by comparison but
takes less time and energy to cook - I toast it gently in a dry pan
then add water and simmer until the grains start to uncoil, and
haven't yet found a quantity that will shift my BG
