A Slice of FPIES (food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome): Insights from 441 children with FPIES as provided by caregivers in the International FPIES Association

ConclusionsGrains was the most common food group avoided, consistent with recent literature. Avocado avoidance was higher than previously reported, and this is the first report of an association between avocado and banana avoidance in FPIES. Avoiding multiple food groups due to FPIES was more common than previously reported. A large proportion of children in our cohort had first-degree relatives with FPIES and, furthermore, having a first-degree relative with FPIES was significantly associated with the affected child avoiding multiple food groups.
