Summary

The aim of this study is to validate a blood test that can identify safe foods for food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). This study proposes a solution to the problems of FPIES by developing a new blood assay that screens a large number of foods (more than 20) in a culture plate. If this blood test is successful it may be able to identify safe foods more quickly. The study will recruit 10 participants that will have more than 2 trigger foods.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Diagnosis of FPIES
  • Have to have documented reactions to 2-3 trigger foods with recurrent delayed vomiting or documented reactions to 4 or more trigger foods with recurrent delayed vomiting.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients who are currently on medications that suppress the immune system
  • Patients who do not have at least 2 trigger foods identified.
  • Patients who have a history of an organic Gastrointestinal (GI) disease (e.g., inflammatory bowel disease, celiac disease, biliary disorders, bowel resection), cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, renal, endocrine, or gynecological pathology
  • Lack of parental or guardian informed consent.
