  • What is FPIES?

    FPIES stands for Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome. It is a rare food allergy that affects the gastrointestinal system. Reactions are delayed onset, usually 2-4 hours after a trigger food is eaten, but sometimes even longer than that.
    _________________________________________
    Children with FPIES have symptoms that range from severe (violent vomiting to bile and hypovolemic shock) to mild (bloody diarrhea, sleep disturbances).
    _________________________________________
    There is no test for FPIES. It is diagnosed by clinical observation and ruling out other possibilities.
    _________________________________________
    There also are no tests to determine trigger foods. FPIES parents must simply feed their child a food, then wait to see if they react.
