Eating sticky rice is difficult to stomach mainly because sticky rice itself is difficult to digest, but we can’t rule out the reasons of eating too much, eating cold sticky rice, or having gastrointestinal diseases.
Glutinous rice itself is highly viscous and harder to digest than other foods, so if you eat too much glutinous rice, it will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, causing bloating and abdominal pain.
In addition, the branched-chain starch in glutinous rice is difficult to melt when the temperature is not enough, and it is also difficult to be digested by the digestive juices, so eating cold glutinous rice will result in glutinous rice being more difficult to digest, which will also lead to gastric distress.
If you have poor digestive function, gastric ulcers, gastritis and other diseases, and then encountered such difficult-to-digest food as glutinous rice, the gastrointestinal tract will be overburdened, resulting in symptoms of gastric discomfort.
There may be other reasons why you have difficulty in stomach after eating glutinous rice, so please clarify the reasons before proceeding with standardized treatment.
