Brief Answer:
No worries, wait and see.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. if you have some intolerance of indigestion issues, then it can happen. Also due to its less absorption abilities compared to white rice and its use for lowering lipid profile,weight etc, the rice can come in the stools . If you do not feel bloated or belching then no worries. let the rice come out of stools, they mean no harm. Foods at restaurant may have a poor hygiene and that may increase gastric motility and not give enough time for the food to be absorbed and digested.

However there is no harm in getting evaluated for any intolerance or bowel indigestions by having some work up like colonic transit studies etc.

I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
