My daughter recently attended a GF diet class for Celiacs led by a dietician. I did not attend, but she shared the slides with me. The advice emphasized a diet rich in whole GF grains and pseudograins - including brown rice. There were no cautions about arsenic in rice. Cooking instructions for rice were the no-drain instructions, instead of boiling in excess water and draining in order to reduce arsenic content.
As far as I can tell, the notion that whole grains are superior to refined grains in a GF diet is based on outcomes from non-GF diet studies (diets that include whole wheat, which is high in ferulic acid).
One GF diet study on people with Celiac found higher levels of inflammation (neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio) in those who consumed the most unrefined cereals. The good news - those who consumed more chocolate had less inflammation.
