Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following rice allergy–related questions:

1. Do my symptoms suggest rice allergy or food intolerance?
   
   
2. What tests will you use to determine if I am allergic to rice?
   
   
3. If I have eaten rice in the past without any reaction, does that mean I am not allergic?
   
   
4. If I am allergic to rice, will I ever be able to eat rice again?
   
   
5. Is my rice allergy dangerous?
   
   
6. What may have caused me to develop a rice allergy?
   
   
7. What are my treatment options?
   
   
8. What should I do if I accidentally eat rice?
   
   
9. Are my children more likely to develop a rice allergy because I have the condition?
   
   
10. Are there other foods besides rice that I should avoid?
