Like many food allergies and related disorders, doctors aren’t sure of the exact cause of EoE. Nor do they know why some people develop EoE, while others do not. Many people with EoE also have other allergic conditions such as hay fever, asthma, and food allergies. Our bodies have many tools to fight infection. One of these is a type of white blood cell called an eosinophil. In EoE, food allergens can cause...

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...

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...

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...

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...
