All about FPIES 

By: Nevaeh Mackerley

Have you heard of FPIES? FPIES is a food allergy most kids outgrow it by 3 The few keep it. 

FPIES otherwise known as food protein induced enteroclysis syndrome. It is common with kids in the early years of life but some continue. It happened between 1 and 7,000 kids. 

Symptoms are vomiting dirah and an upset stomach. There are many types of food: dairy, rice,oats and vegetables. The most common trigger food for adults is seafood. 

Unlike allergic reactions FPIES have a delayed reaction. There is no swelling or closing of the throat even though it's a reaction. Reactions only cause gut pain and other things with the gut. 

There are no physical tests. Doctors give trigger food to patients  and wait hours to see when the reaction happens.
