"What do allergists in practice need to know about non-IgE-mediated food allergies"

Unlike IgE mediated food allergy (FA), where one pathophysiological mechanism explains one disease process, non-IgE FA encapsulates a number of disease states caused by different mechanisms (reviewed in1,2) but unified in their ability to cause gastrointestinal inflammation. The commonest non-IgE mediated disorders encountered and managed by allergists include food protein induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), food protein induced enteropathy (FPE), and food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES).
