Why is bread bad for duck, but cooked rice good? Isn't that basically the same thing? Bread is wheat, water, bit of salt. Cooked rice is rice, water, bit of salt. Or can't ducks handle gluten?

I've heard that they eat more grains if the rice is uncooked and uncooked rice expands in their stomachs causing pain and other problems. Cooked rice is already expanded so they won't overeat
