starches actually tend to be harder to digest, but they usually only
cause gas, not v*ing or n*. rice is the only starch that is not hard to
digest and therefore is part of the BRAT diet. i'm not a Chinese food
eater, so i'm not familiar with rice noodles... are they a product of rice?
i still don't think they should have caused that much discomfort in your
husband, unless he has some sort of gluten intolerance. if anything, i'd
say the shrimp would have had more to do with it than the noodles. my
boyfriend can't eat shrimp at all.
