In early 2020, we conducted a community survey to better understand the challenges and unmet needs in Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome from the perspectives of parents and adult patients! Researchers were very interested in learning more and have published a paper on what they have learned, from YOU! The results of the survey show researchers that the key priorities for the community are: better awareness among health professionals, having diagnostic tests to avoid misdiagnosis, as well as predictive tests to guide safer food trials. Future research and initiatives will be guided by these priorities!
