PODCAST EPISODE SHOW NOTES

What is FPIES? How do I know if my baby has FPIES? Although food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome is a very rare food allergy reaction in babies, it is important for parents to understand the difference between an IgE and non-IgE mediated allergy, as they are often mistaken for the other. In this episode, I am joined by a global expert on the topic of FPIES, Marion Groetch, MS, RDN who is here to discuss some of the common symptoms that result from trigger foods and suggestions on what parents should do if they suspect their baby has FPIES.
