...flu. But I could tell it was more than that. A child with FPIES may seem to have a severe stomach bug, but the “bug” only starts a couple hours after consuming the offending food. Many FPIES parents have rushed their children to the ER, limp from extreme, repeated projectile vomiting, only to hear, “It’s the stomach flu.” However, the next time they feed their children the same solids, the dramatic symptoms return, often more...

...Why some infants develop a milk allergy is unknown. An allergy is an abnormal response by the body’s immune system in response to one or several food allergens. Symptoms of cow milk allergy are caused by exposure to cow milk proteins. These signal the body to produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against the protein. When a person is allergic, any time the body “sees” the protein, the antibodies recognize it and release the chemicals...

...Eosinophilic esophagitis, or EoE, is a condition typically caused by food allergies. Allergens like the proteins in cow milk and wheat may be the culprits.

...the digestive tract. When someone says they have a food allergy, most people think of symptoms like anaphylaxis or hives or an itchy, swollen mouth. Those don’t happen with FPIES. Food protein-induced enterocolitis sydrome is a non-IgE-mediated immune reaction in the gastrointestinal (GI) system to one or more specific foods. This means that the IgE antibodies associated with many food allergies are not involved in an FPIES reaction. That makes FPIES hard to test for....
