We tried out a new rice cereal, not thinking that there would be any problem.&nbsp; Within 5 minutes of having it, he started getting unusually cranky and his face turned red.&nbsp; Then his eyes and face got puffy and itchy (see picture below).&nbsp; It was pretty scary.&nbsp; But our newlywed fellowship was there and prayed for him.&nbsp; He got drastically better within a couple hours without any need for a visit to the ER or for medications.&nbsp;
