Why Is FPIES So Friggin Complicated?

Among all the cases I see, FPIES is one of the tough ones to figure out. Why? Because there are no straight answers. We cannot predict when your child will outgrow FPIES. We don’t know if your child will react to a food unless you try it. A child may react to a low risk food but ok with another food that is deemed high risk. There really is no predictable pattern!

And then the hard questions. Do I go on an elimination diet or switch to a hypoallergenic formula? Do I do a food challenge at home or at the allergist office? When do I reintroduce the trigger food again? Each answer has its pros and cons that must be carefully considered.

My job is to help FPIES mamas figure out those tough questions. I can help you make sense of the 'science' and dive into the pros and cons. My goal is to empower you with the confidence to make the best decision for you and your baby.
