EoE is a complex condition and accurate diagnosis a challenge. It is often mistaken for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) because symptoms can be similar. Most children with eosinophilic esophagitis have multiple food allergies, including milk and...

There is currently no cure for EoE. However, there are ways to manage it, alone or in combination. Talk with your healthcare team about which may work well for you. Please remember, nutritional therapy must be under the direction and supervision of a healthcare...

Most of the time we think of food allergies as causing reactions right away. However, FPIES related allergic reactions to food usually begin 1-4 hours after the trigger food has been eaten. FPIES symptoms are not what you’d typically associate with a food allergy (hives or other rashes, itchy or swollen mouth, trouble breathing, anaphylaxis). Rather, they are related to the digestive...

Like many food allergies and related disorders, doctors aren’t sure of the exact cause of FPIES. Researchers are working to learn more about this condition. FPIES often shows up in babies after their first formulas or solid foods are introduced. A baby with FPIES may successfully take breastmilk, then develop FPIES symptoms when a cow milk or soy-based infant formula is started. Very rarely, FPIES has occurred in exclusively breastfed babies. FPIES is...

FPIES can be hard to diagnose. Blood allergy tests can help reveal IgE-mediated food allergies, but FPIES is a non-IgE-mediated disorder. So far, there is no valid laboratory or skin test for FPIES. Furthermore, FPIES reactions are often mistaken for something else, like a stomach bug. The lag time between feeding and the onset of symptoms can cloud connection between cause and effect. Often, FPIES is only suspected after multiple allergic...

Short bowel syndrome (SBS) usually occurs when a large portion of the small intestine and/or colon is removed (resected). Sometimes, children are born with a small intestine that doesn’t work like it should. With a shortened bowel, a person has trouble absorbing enough nutrients, called “malabsorption.” Malabsorption is a condition that can cause malnutrition and poor growth. Malabsorption can also be part of other allergic and gastrointestinal...

Many babies and children with short bowel syndrome (SBS) experience symptoms like diarrhea, dehydration, and poor growth. Infants and children with SBS may also have an increased risk of developing food allergies. This may be due to damage to the inner lining of the intestine causing the immune system to react to food proteins. Other causes of malabsorption can also result in significant...

The small intestine and colon play crucial roles in digestion. The small intestine absorbs a majority of the nutrients your body needs to function, and the colon mainly absorbs water. Both are key for your child to grow. Loss of any part of the small bowel reduces the area available to absorb nutrients and fluids. Some infants are born with portions of the small intestine faulty or missing. Others have parts of the...
