Sunnydays when I had the child with the rice allergy it was worse than almost anything else I have dealt with. Her list was a mile long - just started out as a cranky baby but over time they kept testing and the list got longer and longer and sure enough once eliminated she was much more civil to deal with. Rice was the worst as it is used in most foods to help with consistency. She also had a dairy, egg, cherry, carrot, almonds (other nuts were fine) but then I had to watch for flavourings in stuff, - good reason to bake my own stuff. Parents provided a special margarine for her and she couldn't do soy or goats milk so she drank juice or water only while here and parents had a special formula from the hospital for a daily feeding. I had never heard of a child with a rice allergy till this one. Interesting to hear of another one. Guess is struck me as odd since rice is the first grain we introduce to babies and with so much gluten intolerances rice is one that most of them can tolerate. Really seemed weird after nearly 3 years to actually make rice krispie squares for snack.
