16. Both of my kids had FPIES (a type of food allergy)
1Description
FPIES is a rare type of food allergy that causes delayed reactions like vomiting or diarrhea - and BOTH of my kids had it. My daughter had FPIES to egg and my son had FPIES to wheat, so we are just an allergy family! In this video, I go over:
- What we initially thought my daughter’s allergy was
- What her first reaction was like
- When and how we reintroduced eggs
- How we knew my son also had FPIES
- How we navigated FPIES at daycare
- When and how we reintroduced wheat
- The medical providers we had on board for both
- How they’re both doing now
- My top two tips for FPIES parents
