Genevieve has ‘classic’ FPIES. She reacts to rice, soy and oats although, to date, she also has 26 foods on her safe list. Like most families, our road to diagnosis was difficult and filled with an overwhelming number of doctor appointments, tests and fear. However, we are hopeful that Genevieve will outgrow her FPIES. Although FPIES has brought us many trials – with doctors, with acceptance, with understanding, with logistics and, of course, with food, it has also brought us knowledge, faith, determination, patience, an incredible support system and a better appreciation of family, our health and the blessings we do have in our lives.
