Quinoa intolerance, dairy / gluten intolerance related?

My ds is 9 months old and seems to vomit about 5 hours after having Plum baby Superfood (Any variety) After an investigation on the Plum Baby website, I have discovered that they add quinoa too all their foods which is the only common factor. I thought quinoa was supposed to be hypoallergenic!

My dd, who is just over 3 is cows milk protein intolerant and soya protein intolerant(similar time lapse for reaction, has been formally diagnosed by Paediatrician and Peadiatric Dietician), but has no problem with quinoa.

We have yet to try ds on any dairy or soya and he is currently breastfed and on a fruit, vegetables, meat and rice diet. We have not tried any gluten / wheat.

i am now worried that ds may be gluten and /or dairy intolerant as well. Does anyone else have any experience of this?

DS5 (2.11y) is gluten, wheat, dairy, egg, soya intolerant... and TBH i thought that it was hypoallergenic too, and hes ill with quinoa too, i havent mentioned it to anyone - your the first because you kinda get the reaction that "ooh no it cant possibly be that, have you checked EVERYTHING else?" kinda remarks. BUT im certain its that.

Im no expert at all so i really couldnt say if thats an indication as to wether or not your DS is intolerant to anything else - but as your daughter is, i would hazard a guess that he probably has intolerances of some sort because despite medical belief that its 'oh no its not hereditary at all' it obviously must be as there are so many whole families with these problems. and only very occasionally does it turn out to be just one person in a family.
