Adding rice flour to GOMAD

[Wismerhill]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to add more carbs to my GOMAD. Oats worked well but the soluble fibre in them left me very gassy and paradoxically constipated.

What are peoples' thoughts on adding brown rice flour? Would this be digestible in its raw form?

Thanks

Why in the hell would you want more carbs? And if you did, why would want to get them from rice flour? If you are plugged up, how about 4 apples chewed in a lazy manner?

Dextrose is cheap. and what Mark said.

Need more calories.

Wanted good carbs. Preferably complex with some micronutrient value. Dextrose doesn't fit that bill. Apples aren't convenient and again simple sugars..

It would be much better to get the additional calories from fat. Much better.

My vote is for ice cream-or just heavy cream. Espresso with heavy cream is a good thing first thing in the morning-about four shots of each. Also, old normal behaviors from you grandparents are often good- i.e., cooking in lard and bacon fat. Just more bacon is a good start. Rice flour is just kinda wrong, at least as a supplement.

When GOMADing, I sometimes add flavored protein powder to it just to make it taste different...all the milk "flavor" sometimes gets boring. It shakes things up and boosts the calories...

If you are concerned with micro nutrients, why not just take a multivitamin?

"Apples aren't convenient"

What? Where are and what are you doing that carrying around .25 -1 gallon of milk, which must be kept cold, is convenient, but an apple isn't? As far as simple sugars, how complex do you think the carbs in rice flour is? It had the shit processed out of it to get it to that state.
