My son is allergic to ALL grains, including rice. He is ony 3 I got him tested for Celiac and came back negative. I will keep him on a wheat/grain free diet so that hopefully doesn't develop Celiac.  I've also read if you have a biopsy done and they test a undamaged spot your test will come back false negative.  My grandmother was misdiagnosed until this year in her 60's she has had colitis for years and has had many health problems that may have been avoided had she been properly diagnosed.

Here is some important information

Who gets food allergies? Can they be stopped?
Once you have food allergies, there are not any medicines that make food allergies go away. If you
are allergic to a certain food, the only way to make sure you won’t have a reaction is to never
taste, touch or even smell the food.
Moms who breast feed their babies might keep the babies from getting food allergies. Another way
to keep babies from getting food allergies is to wait to feed them foods that often cause food
allergies:
• Try to wait until babies are 6 months old before you give them solid foods. Wait until they
are 1 year old before giving them milk and other dairy (like cheese and yogurt).
• Toddlers should not eat eggs until they are 2 years old.
• Children should not eat peanuts, nuts or fish until they are 3 years old.
Talk to your doctor about a plan for introducing these foods.

Here is the recipe:
2 cups old fashioned oats
2 cups of water (I prefer rice milk)
1/2 banana (I substitute with canned pumpkin too)
2 tablespoons oil
1/2 tsp salt
cinnamon optional
(optional- I like to add 1 egg and 1 tsp. Baking powder)

Blend all ingredients in blender. Stand for 5 minutes. Spray waffle iron with non-stick spray and make waffles!

These are some symptoms of Food Sensitivities and allergies as given by Meridian Valley Lab, which is where my family has received our FOOD PANEL tests from.
