Emerging Triggers of FPIES: Lessons from a Pediatric Cohort of 74 Children in the US

Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a rare non-IgE mediated gastrointestinal food-induced allergic disorder occurring predominantly in infants and young children. Common food triggers and the natural history of FPIES vary according to geographic location. It is a serious condition that is still under-recognized, resulting in a delay in diagnosis and appropriate management. FPIES is characterized by delayed onset of repetitive vomiting occurring approximately 1 to 4 hours after food ingestion.
