It was the Rice!

We had more excitement with Monkey. I fed him some rice cereal and exactly 3 hrs later he starts projectile vomiting. Thankfully Chief was home. He didn't get as sick as he did the first time it happened but I still took him to the ER just in case he started to get sicker. Last time was so scary I didn't want a repeat of it. The doc that we saw ticked me off but other than that he checked out ok and was able to keep some fluids down after they gave him some Zofron. While I was in the room waiting for them to check him I remembered the first time this happened. I had given him rice cereal with the carrots. So more than likely it was the rice not the carrots last month. Especially since rice is one of the foods listed for FPIES.

I took him to the doc to get some kind of a plan of action for him. We were not able to see his PCM but we saw another doc that I really like. She suggested that I make sure I have Zofron on hand with Pedilyte and just prepare for a puke fest when we introduce a new food. He see's the allergist this week and we can go over stuff with him too.

So far he's had oatmeal and peas with no reaction. However he doesn't care for either of them. We're just going to keep trying new foods until we have a few that we know he can eat.
