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
