Because FPIES is a rare, Non IgE food allergy, not all doctors may be familiar with this condition. Some parents have found it helpful to bring medical journal articles to their child’s doctor visit when first exploring the possibility of an FPIES diagnosis, based upon the child’s history of symptoms. Keep in mind that a doctor is the only one who can diagnose or rule out FPIES for your child. In addition to any clinical information or testing information he or she may wish to obtain, providing your child’s doctor with credible medical information regarding FPIES could assist him or her in determining if an FPIES diagnosis fits your child’s symptoms.
Below are some additional articles that your child’s doctor might find useful. You as parents might also find it helpful to read further about FPIES and the existing medical literature.
