What is FPIES?

FPIES stands for Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome. It is a non-IgE mediated reaction in the gastrointestinal system. In other words, it is severe food hypersensitivity, but it is not your typical allergic reaction. Benadryl and an Epi-Pen will not help these reactions.

Once a trigger food is consumed, there is a delayed reaction, typically 2 to 4 hours after ingestion. The reaction starts with vomiting and or diarrhea, followed by lethargy and shock. This can lead to severe dehydration and even fatal shock. The reaction can last 6 hours or more. It can take several weeks for the diarrhea, crankiness and tiredness to pass.

There are no tests to know whether a child suffers from FPIES. There are no tests to know which foods a child will cause a reaction. There is no treatment or cure for FPIES. This is a chronic illness that affects everyone in the family.
