Symptom Tolerance Scores
Instructions
- 1
In a small saucepan, add the cooked white rice and low fat lactose-free milk, stirring gently to loosen any clumps of rice.
- 2
Warm the mixture over low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring often, until the rice is very soft and the texture is creamy but not boiling; remove from heat and let it cool until just warm.
- 3
In a small bowl, whisk the whey protein isolate with 30–40 ml of cool water until smooth, then slowly stir this slurry into the warm rice mixture until fully combined and creamy.
- 4
Stir in the finely grated fresh ginger and, if using, the honey and ground cinnamon, adjusting the liquid with a splash of extra milk or water if you prefer a thinner, pudding-like consistency.
- 5
Divide into two small bowls and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly; serve warm or at room temperature, whichever feels easier on your stomach.
GLP-1 Tips
- If your nausea is strong, start with just half the ginger and omit the cinnamon, eating a few small spoonfuls slowly to see how your stomach tolerates it.
- Keeping the bowl closer to room temperature rather than very hot can reduce steam and smell, which may be more comfortable when on GLP-1 medications.
- If dairy is hard to tolerate, you can swap the lactose-free milk for a fortified rice or oat drink and use a neutral plant-based protein powder.
Storage
Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Add a splash of milk or water and stir before eating to loosen the texture, and consume chilled or at room temperature if warm foods worsen your nausea.
