Cure for acidity: Raw rice

Hi Papa! Being Puerto Rican rice is very common in my culture. I have never thought about consuming it this way for acidic problems. I will have to try this and see how it goes as I do get a lot of acid indigestion so this may do me some good. I will have to let you know of any changes I experience while I do this. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I am thinking that this raw rice is actually sucks up the acid. Acidity is awful. The uncooked rice would swell up in the stomach and take the acid away. It makes perfect sense and is a very good idea. So what does the 'Bhuwan' mean? It sounds pretty interesting and I would be curious.

That is very interesting. I have never thought of taking raw rice. I rarely suffer from acidity, but I am thinking that it may be good to do anyway. I was once told by a naturapath friend of mine, the brown rice can act like a sponge in the system soaking up all the toxinx in the gut, thus generally improving health. She was talking about cooked rice though, not raw. I think I will give this a try and see what happens. Thank you for posting. _Derek

hi, thanks for sharing that information and that would be very helpful especially to those acidic people like me,and for sure that i will try that,its reall hard to have high acid in the body,so i never drink cold water instead is warm water especially when i eat fatty foods and acidic drinks.

Professor, I am happy to see you back on here! I look forward to reading your posts! I haven't heard much about the problems associated with acidity--could you describe some of the symptoms? I will surely try out this home remedy, as it doesn't seem to have any risks associated with it. Thanks!

Good Afternoon Professor, I have tried your raw brown rice for acidity of the stomache for 21 days. I feel great and no pain. I am looking forwarded to the next 3 months to reduce the acidity in my body. I have been on Nexium 40mg for last 6 years for acidity in my stomache. And this natural elimination has been most helpful, THANKYOU, THANKYOU, keep up the good work. I will be in touch after next 3 months and advise you how I am at that time. God Bless, Best Wishes, Take Care. Regards Susan Pavlidis from Sydney

My son has a problem with acid, mostly due to a hiatal hernia. I wonder if this would work for him? Does it matter which kind of rice, brown or white? It's not bad enough for them to correct it surgically but it causes him so much pain and distress.

I have a friend who is always complaining of hyper-acidity. I'll tell her to try this. Thanks for sharing. This is all natural so if this really works then good news. I love all-natural healing.

hello to you, Professor. i appreciate this discussion. i will try this because i am acidic.

Hi Professor, thanks for sharing this good and easy home cure for acidity. Sometimes, i do have acidity when i consumed too much acidity food. Most of the time, when i have acidity problem i will pop an anti acid pill. Sometimes even drink some kind of anti acid mixture. Maybe, this time i will give this a try and see for myself the result...

Hi Professor. I didn't know about that. Thanks for sharing. Medication for acidity is very expensive, raw rice would be a great help.

I never experienced with raw rice before, I think if it works then it is the best economical and easily available medicine for a very dangerous disease. I just woke up and it is the time for me to try it. Thanks and have a nice day ahead.

Hello Sir.... I understand acid could trigger cancer. I do suffer from it and very thankful that you shared this home remedy. I will try it at home since I don't seen any bad effect for this. Thank you again...

Hello Professorji, this seems to be a really easy way to prevent acidity. I knew that the water in which raw rice has been soaked works quite well for similar purposes, but did not know about this method. I will get my husband to try it out as he occasionally gets this problem. Thanks for the easy tip!

hi professor, as i imagine it, it is just like taking a pill (rather pills for acidity) but this one is new to me.. a home cure just like you said. am glad i dont have problems with acidity but then for those who have, i hope they try this and then tell us the results. have a great day. ann

WOw this one is new too to me. I have colitis so I am not sure it will work for me BUT it would help my colitis if I could use it. It is the acid that is killing me it seems. I wish there was another way for me to counteract the acid in my body. If you do not have a good ph balance and one or the other is higher than the other your body starts to tell you in many ways. I use...get this apple cider vinager. It is alkaline and brings down cholesterol helps you loose weight and gives me energy. It helps my stomache too. Does the rise asorb the acid in the stomache?

I have suffered from acidity for some 10 years. I was on PPI (Omeprazole) for a long time but side effects set in! Now I learn that PPI should not be taken for more than 3 months! About 4 months ago I read about the Japanese/Indian recommendation of drinking 4 glasses of water first thing in the morning (widely documented on the web.) I gave it a try (nothing to lose) and it helped a little. I also started to drink a very small amount of milk several time a day which helped further. I found tea was a major trigger point for acidity in me and so gave up tea. 10 weeks ago I read about the 10 grains of rice with water immediately in the morning. Decided to trial this (again nothing to lose) and it has produced amazing results! I have not had a single bout of acidity since I started. Results were instant. I have started drinking tea but only one cup a day and make it a little milky. Also, I no longer drink it very hot like I used to. Also, try pressure points for acidity. There is an article by Ketan Shah on pressure points as well as 10 grains of rice on lifepositive.com Also, I stay very fit through sports and gym fitness and have adapted a good balanced diet. I have not given up anything, I do NOT diet. Just eat plenty of good food, and much less of not good food. A flat belly is always a major help in indigestion problems. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GRAINS OF RICE IMMEDIATELY AFTER WAKING WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR ACIDITY
