Examples
-
The toddler has a disorder known as FPIES and has only been able to eat five foods -- strawberries, blueberries, grapes, avocados and peppers.
-
In FPIES, there is an allergic reaction in the gastrointestinal system.
-
FPIES is especially difficult to diagnose because standard skin and blood testing for specific IgE antibodies known as mmunoglobulin E are routinely negative.
-
Unlike most food allergies, a FPIES reaction is delayed and usually begins two hours after the ingestion of food culprits.
-
Doctors still don't even have an ICD-9 code to diagnose FPIES, according to the foundation, which is pushing for a medical diagnostic tool.
-
FPIES is a spectrum of disorders that affects each child differently.
-
The 31 children had FPIES episodes on 56 occasions over a period of 16 years at one children's hospital, with cow's milk and soy proteins accounting for 30 of these episodes in ten and seven children, but rice causing 26 episodes in 14 children.
-
Though the reaction, known as food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) - can commonly be triggered by cow's milk, soy protein, and some vegetables, meats and grains, rice was found to be the most frequent cause.
-
Some 40 per cent of children whose FPIES was triggered by rice required resuscitation with intravenous fluids.
