Only 2 of the 19 children who presented to an emergency department with their initial reactions were discharged with correct diagnoses. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Chronic FPIES typically presents in neonates, whereas acute FPIES is primarily a disorder of young infants. [allergynotes.blogspot.com]

However, a diagnosis of FPIES is favoured if there is rapid resolution of symptoms within hours of presentation, an absence of fever, and a lack of a significant rise in C‐reactive protein at presentation. [mja.com.au]

Weaning The usual age for presentation of FPIES is between 4 and 6 months [8]. [hindawi.com]

FPIES presents in two different forms: an acute form and a chronic form. In its acute form, FPIES presents with vomiting that usually beings 1 to 4 hours after trigger food ingestion (can be 30 minutes to 6 or more hours). [en.wikipedia.org]

• Inflammation

  Eating the offending food causes localized inflammation in the small and large intestines. Researchers speculate that this inflammation allows fluids and other substances to pass through the intestinal wall (intestinal permeability and fluid shift). [rarediseases.org]

  Many of these animals on biopsies have low grades or moderate grades of intestinal inflammation, and so there's a little bit of a controversy should we treat that concurrent inflammation that we see microscopically? In general, I do. [dvm360.com]

• Swelling

  These symptoms include swelling of your lips or throat area (called angioedema), hives (swelling of your skin that are itchy and bumpy), stomach pain, vomiting or diarrhoea (see our article on food poisoning for more information on this). [lifestyleug.com]

  The frequent urticarial lesions, and mucosal swellings (angioedema) prove embarrassing and uncomfortable. Patients with CU are often inadequately treated. [londonallergyconsultants.co.uk]

  […] severe form, symptoms include abdominal pain, profuse vomiting, lethargy, potentially diarrhea, and even shock.[2][3][4] Additional symptoms could potentially include - but are not limited to - headache, pallor, lethargy, constipation, and abdominal swelling [en.wikipedia.org]

  Additional symptoms include pallor, lethargy, and abdominal swelling (distension). Symptoms can be severe and can potentially cause acute dehydration and/or hypovolemic shock. [rarediseases.org]

• Poor Growth

  Early on, infants tend to have poor growth and might be diagnosed with failure to thrive. Older infants can present with solid food FPIES, typically when an infant starts eating rice, oats, barley and other similar foods. [acaai.org]

  Chronic FPIES typically presents with protracted vomiting and/or diarrhea, and weight loss or poor growth. Common foods triggering FPIES include cow's milk, soy, rice, oats, fish, and egg. [pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Children with FPIES can have poor growth if they continue to ingest trigger food/s. How is FPIES diagnosed? There are no laboratory or skin tests which can confirm a diagnosis of FPIES. This makes diagnosis difficult. [allergy.org.au]

• Fatigue

  Some symptoms of nutrient malabsorption, and their typical causes, include: fatigue (not enough calories or various nutritional deficiencies) anemia (vitamin B-12 or iron deficiency) bone disease (vitamin D deficiency) bleeding disorders, including bleeding [badgut.org]

  […] result in a clear line across the nose (called a nasal crease) and rubbing of the eyes may result in deep skin folds under the eye (called Morgan Denny’s folds); the dark areas under the eyes are called ‘allergic shiners’ - making the children appear fatigued [londonallergyconsultants.co.uk]

• Underweight

  Underweight individuals will need to focus on high-calorie foods, to get enough energy for optimal health. [badgut.org]

  In this study, children with food allergies were more underweight and stunted than the general population (as published by others) [38,39], which appears to be linked to the number of foods excluded. [journals.lww.com]

• Cough

  Read more on Anaphylaxis Top of page Asthma, Bronchiolitis, Wheezy-cough, Bronchial Asthma, Cough variants There are many different 'chesty conditions' in childhood. [londonallergyconsultants.co.uk]

• Abdominal Distension

  On the 5th day of admission, the neonate developed abdominal distension and diarrhea. Fever subsided on the 7th day. After the symptoms including diarrhea were improved, the infant was discharged. [jsms.sch.ac.kr]

  Additional symptoms include pallor, lethargy, and abdominal swelling (distension). Symptoms can be severe and can potentially cause acute dehydration and/or hypovolemic shock. [rarediseases.org]

• Chronic Diarrhea

  Diarrhea & IBS Chronic diarrhea can indicate disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). IBD vs. [ibssmart.com]

  Moreover, in FPIES patients with chronic diarrhea, stool samples have revealed the presence of eosinophils and Charcot-Leyden crystals with Hansel’s stain. [tandfonline.com]

• Regurgitation

• Cyanosis

  Additional symptoms often occur including pallor, lethargy, abdominal distension, and cyanosis, a condition characterized by abnormal bluish discoloration of the skin due to low levels of circulating oxygen in the blood. [rarediseases.org]

  On the first day after discharge, when the infant was 38 days of age, he developed grunting, perioral cyanosis, and persistent diarrhea. The mother stated that he was sleepy all the time. [jsms.sch.ac.kr]

• Fussiness

  The onset of symptoms can therefore be confusing and often the new-onset aversion of cross-reactive foods is seen as 'fussiness'. [londonallergyconsultants.co.uk]

  Very importantly, the variety of tastes and textures and the timely introduction of these directly affect or prevent fussy eating behaviour [56,57]. Food refusal is commonly seen during infancy. [journals.lww.com]

• Dizziness

  […] redness of the skin, lips, eyelids, or other parts of the body, and/or itching of the throat, tongue, and mouth Wheezing and/or difficulty breathing Swelling of the tongue, throat and nose Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or cramping pain in the abdomen Dizziness [londonallergyconsultants.co.uk]

Biomarkers are lacking and patients may undergo extensive workups for their symptoms, which often leads to a delay in diagnosis and puts infants at risk for feeding difficulties, nutritional deficiencies, and failure to thrive. [journals.healio.com]

• Colitis

  This can weaken your immune system so that other things like bacteria and viruses can cause more serious diseases such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (both Colitis). [lifestyleug.com]

Other emergency FPIES treatments include steroid treatments and IV rehydration. Children may also have growth issues as a result of untreated FPIES, which must be addressed and monitored by health care providers. [foodallergycanada.ca]

Regarding the treatment of acute FPIES reaction, ondansetron has emerged as an adjunct to intravenous rehydration in moderate‐severe reactions and as a first‐line treatment in mild reactions. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

If you suspect that your child has symptoms of FPIES, see an allergist for diagnosis and treatment. [acaai.org]

Most families of children with FPIES will be given a letter to present to emergency departments explaining their child’s condition and the appropriate treatment. [allergy.org.au]

Avoidance of the trigger food protein/s is currently the only effective treatment option. [nurtureparenting.com.au]

Prognosis was good, with high rates of resolution for the 2 most common food triggers (ie, rice and soy) by 3 years of age. Conclusions. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Prognosis Prognosis for FPIES is favourable with overall 85% patients having resolution of their reactions by 5 years of age [11]. However this is population dependent and different studies have shown varying resolution rates. [hindawi.com]

The prognosis of FPIES depends on the causative food and in the case of FPIES due to fish, it does not seem so favourable and the disease is not always outgrowth. [dialnet.unirioja.es]

The prognosis of FPIES is good. A retrospective study involving patients with FPIES reported resolution occurs within 2 years in 60% of patients with cow’s milk sensitivity and in 25% of patients with soy milk sensitivity [6]. [jsms.sch.ac.kr]

As far as prognosis is concerned, there is a good chance of achieving tolerance at 18 months after the last clinical reaction. [londonallergyconsultants.co.uk]

Humoral antibody-specific responses may also play a role in the pathophysiology of FPIES. [tandfonline.com]

However, there is a need to develop new biomarkers to improve the diagnosis and management of FPIES patients, and this requires a better understanding of the pathophysiology. [onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Research on the pathophysiology of FPIES reactions is necessary to provide insight into the evidence-based approach to diagnosis and management of FPIES. Registries are needed to understand the phenotype, triggers, and prevalence of FPIES. [allergynotes.blogspot.com]
