Barbara Wilson-Clay, I was horrified to learn about rice crops and dioxin. My granddaughter was birthed at home and exclusively breastfed by a mom who knows a lot about allergies especially dairy. The only food her mom ate that caused a reaction in the baby was rice. When she started on solids, again rice gave her stomach aches. Brown rice was worst, but any rice caused problems for at least her first two years. Now at age 3 1/2, she can drink milk occasionally without obvious reaction, but still avoids rice. Go figure. Linda Smith, BSE, FACCE, IBCLC Dayton, OH - smack in the middle of dairy, soybean and corn country.
