Alina Eremeeva, gastroenterologist, pediatrician, Ph.D., MMA named after. Sechenov, Moscow :

- Rice porridge has a low protein content, but it is very valuable in amino acid composition. The richest in starch content, it is low in sugars, fats and dietary fiber.

Of the various types of rice, it is better to use brown (it is not polished, and it retains the pityriasis shell, in which vitamins B1, B2, E and PP are concentrated). Long grain rice is also good.

Rice is well digestible, is a dietary product, and is recommended for diseases of the gastrointestinal tract (with the exception of constipation).

For indigestion and diarrhea, rice water has a good effect.
