FPIES is a non-IgE mediated immune reaction in the gastrointestinal system to one or more specific foods, commonly characterized by profuse vomiting and diarrhea. FPIES is presumed to be cell mediated. Poor growth may occur with continual ingestion. Upon removing the problem food(s), all FPIES symptoms subside.
Research is key to learning how to help those affected by FPIES. The FPIES Foundation was proud to award a grant to FPIES mom and clinical researcher, Professor Boyer, to support her current study on FPIES and the microbiome of the gut.
