As humans, we release amylase in our mouths which starts the digestion of carbs; dogs don't release this in their mouths and their digestion of carbs happens a bit differently. So, just a thought. Maybe check the poos and see if you can see rice in there? |
Cody is fighting severe case of colitis, I had him on white rice for months, then saw where brown rice was recommended, I changed over to brown rice, when he pooped the brown rice came out, the way it went in, undigested, after 5 days I put him back on white rice, Barley also recommended came out undigested, I puree it but his poop was sticky, so stopped the barley.
