http://www.ricedietcf.com The latest updates from the Rice Diet of Central Florida http://www.ricedietcf.com Congratulations to Robert who has lost 95 lbs over the past 9 months. He has shed more than weight in fact, he has diminished or resolved a number of medical problems, including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, sleep apnea, arthritis, and low energy levels. He has also been able to decrease some and discontinue other medications that he had been chronically taking. He has gone from a 48 inch waist down to a 32 inch waist! He is a new man on the inside and out! http://www.ricedietcf.com Douglas J. Sprung MD and Denise D.

Conclusions were that the Rice Diet was successful in eliminating up to 90% of IBS symptoms within 2-4 weeks of starting the diet. Most patients were able to discontinue their medications, or at least decrease the need to use medications, and there were sustained benefits up to 8 weeks on a modified diet.
