Actually I believe we can tolerate sticky rice better than normal rice.. and far better than typical starchy foods. Sticky rice is very very low in amylose, and instead has something called "amylo-pectin" which is starch-like but doesn't provoke my immune system much. It does break down to simple sugars, and too much of that make me.. ahem.. itch :-(

Try starting with a small amount of sticky rice and gradually increasing - oh and when you do, take a probiotic with it. The sticky rice will serve as good food for the friendly probiotic flora (ie. act as a prebiotic).
