I think it's certainly worth a shot!
FWIW, I've noticed that when I'm eating things I'm allergic to, I tend to
talk too fast, sometimes stumble over my words, and get very nervous.
These are certainly manifestations of an allergic reaction, so by all
means, give it a try.

I live on veggies and meat. I don't eat any wheat, rice or other grain
products; I do eat a lot of nuts. It's not hard; what I eat is basically
like the usual American 'meat and potatoes' diet (one serving meat, one
serving veggies) except -- NO potatoes! I substitute veggies where you'd
find starches. If he really likes his 'white stuff' (i.e., starch) maybe
you can wean him off using cauliflower? At least they look similar to
mashed potatoes, if you cream them... I've made a 'mock potato salad'
using cauliflower.
I don't know why rabbit is so expensive. Could do with the fact that
there's low demand, and they're such fiddly little creatures that
processing them takes money. But that doesn't make too much sense, since
Cornish Game Hens are small, too. It might just come down to a supply and
demand question.
If you don't live in the suburbs, you might be able to raise rabbits for
food. (Even if you do live in the 'burbs, sometimes they will 'pass' as
pets, even if you're eating the occasional rabbit.) My dad's family raised
rabbits in their house during the Depression and WW II, for extra meat.
It's a little off-putting at first, but can be done. I've never been fond
of rabbits as pets ever since one of my neighbor's bunnies ate the hand off
my Barbie doll when I was in 2nd grade, and I think they're rather stupid
animals, so I wouldn't have a problem with eating them at all. I can't
raise them in my townhouse, though -- I'm deathly allergic to the fur!
