I understand your concern, Janet.
I think you will find that while many gluten free products have brown rice in them, not all do.
More importantly, if you make your own food (far more healthy than prepared foods, and better health is the main goal of all this), you can make it out of whatever you like. You can use white rice, potato, amaranth, quinoa etc.
If you do have celiac disease, the long-term symptoms are serious, including cancer, and all kinds of complications in almost any of the body’s organs. There is lots of information about that on this site.
I suggest you get tested for celiac disease as soon as possible, and before going on a gluten free diet.
Hope that helps.
