Fascinating!!! I'll check this out!!! But I assume you eat other things besides brown rice and protein? What protein do you use? I don't eat meat, but I have some great protein powder I put in smoothies,and I eat cheese and eggs, and beans and lentils. But I've stayed off the beans and lentils for a few days because of the diarrhea.

I had this side-effect and handled it by adding Citrucel with meals of brown rice and protein. This helped yet did not completely fix the problem.
I switched to Depakote Sprinkles. There is a manufacturer's coupon for the sprinkles with a low co-pay. I have been on the sprinkles formulation for 2 years without Depakote GI upset of any type.
I hope you find a fix.
