Does any of your LOs have allergy to rice cereal? My LO has got some rashes (red patch with lots of little humps) after consuming it. She is a TBF baby. PD thought that it is eczema. Neither my husband nor me have eczema or any kinda asthma history. The rashes vanished after we stopped giving her rice cereal.

Here are some symptoms of rice allergy: - skin rash - red eyes - a red rash around the anus - hives - dermatitis - facial swelling Rice allergy can also cause respiratory illness, with wheezing, runny nose, stuffiness or coughing and/or gastrointestinal symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea. Allergic reaction usually manifest when the child was given the food the second time. He/she may not have any symptoms during the first exposure.

It could be the rice cereal, or possibly traces of soy or gluten that caused it. It depends on the place it was manufactured as well as the contents in the cereal itself. Better to go to the doctor.

thanks
