[Guest guest]

Hi Deb and Lori:

After reading your posts I'm beginning to think on is allergic

to rice, too...he likes oatmeal better. He is half Asian so maybe

that's why he has so many skin afflictions. I was blaming it on my

hubby...very pale white caucausian...LOL. It is so much fun

experimenting with food huh?! Thanks for posting the allergy

information...very interesting.

Lori and on DOCGRAD 9/19
