Book excerpt: FPIES (Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome), usually pronounced F-Pies, is a rare type of food allergy that causes symptoms in the GI tract. These symptoms usually appear 2-4 hours after someone eats a food that they are allergic to, but could appear up to 8 hours after consuming the food. The "enterocolitis" part of FPIES describes inflammation of the intestines, which results in the GI symptoms. We don't know what exactly causes FPIES--- the mechanisms behind it aren't widely understood. But we do know that it involves an immune system response to specific foods. Sometimes, FPIES is misdiagnosed as repeated occurrences of a bad stomach bug (GI virus or bacterial infection) at first, because the symptoms are so similar. But then, it is correctly identified when the symptoms are consistently tied back to a specific food or foods. Any food can potentially cause symptoms of FPIES. However, the most common FPIES food allergies are to cow's milk, soy, rice, and oats. Most children with FPIES only have one or two problem foods that trigger their symptoms, but sometimes FPIES can be triggered by multiple foods in the same child.
