Rice allergy?

I have noticed a trend with my 8 month old. Whenever he has something with rice in it, he ends up vomiting it up later. It started on Christmas day with sweet potatoes (baby food) and rice cereal. I laid off both for awhile and then tried each separately. No problems with the sweet potato. I've only tried rice cereal mixed in to his food a couple times but it seems like when I do he will vomit later (usually at night) after I do. Last night for his dinner I tried organic peas with brown rice jarred food (along w a couple other things) and I just came in to find him covered in his own vomit. Allergy to rice? I've never heard of this but obviously now I need to do some research. His 9 mo checkup is next week so I can inquire then too.

    Have you tried other grains?  Maybe he is allergic to a specific grain.  My son can only have wheat, no oats or rice.

    I haven't really tried other grains because I'm a little nervous!  I think I'm just going to hold off on all grains until next week at his dr appt.  I was doing more reading online and it sounds like rice allergies are pretty rare so I'm wondering if it's something else that I'm just not putting together...

    DD would break out in a rash from rice cereal.   Her Dr. said he had had never heard of a rice allergy.  He thought maybe it was a preservative in the rice cereal. We stayed away from all products with rice until she was a year old. She has been fine with all other foods.  We actually just started giving her puffs a month ago and she was fine with them.

    DS1 had that kind of reaction to anything with oats.  He grew out of it by 18 months.

    Thanks ladies.  So far so good today (fingers crossed for tonight) and no more barfing.  I'm holding off on all grains until we see the doc on April 1.  I hope this isn't anything serious...

    Okay, I am not trying to scare you, but please look-up information on food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES).  My 6 month old has this...  You can check-out my blog at www.whatseatingyou-fpies.blogspot.com to see if anything in our story sounds familiar.  This can be a really serious probblem, so please take the time to read about it.  KFA has excellent info as well:  https://www.kidswithfoodallergies.org/resourcespre.php?id=99
