Oatmeal allergy / intolerance?

Reposting this from Feb '13...
We started solids on Aug 17 with oatmeal. She had it 4 days in a row, seemed to love it, no issues. On Aug 31 she was constipated so we tried prunes. We gave them again on Sept 1st, but this time mixed with a little bit of oatmeal because she didn't seem to like the texture.
Approx 2 hours later she woke from a nap vomiting profusely, and continued to do so for 1.5 hours on and off. We thought her body just couldn't handle it because it was the first time she had 'lunch' and because she was so backed up.
She hadnt had oatmeal since, but two days ago we tried mango. It seemed too thin for her liking, so we added oatmeal. Again, two hours later, she was vomiting, going somewhat limp between episodes, falling asleep and waking only to vomit. This continued for over 2 hours.
I took her to the pedi today, and she said it was just an adverse reaction to oats. Switch to rice cereal if we need a thickener.
I was wondering if anyone had been through something like this... I'm scared to try any grains and new foods for fear we will have another vomiting episode. The pedi didn't seem concerned but I'm terrified.
Oh and she turned 7 months on the 8th.
