Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome Caused by Solid Food Proteins

Written in 2003 by doctors at the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at  Mount Sinai School of Medicine, this articles includes case studies of FPIES. This was one of the first studies to outline FPIES by solid foods, as well as the increasing prevalence of this disorder.

Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome: Clinical Perspectives

This article reviews the first acknowledgment of FPIES by Dr. Powell in the 1970’s. Powell was the first to recognize that symptoms mimicking FPIES need to be ruled out for diagnosis, and established initial criteria for oral food challenges. The authors delineate the classic clinical features, diagnosis and management of FPIES in relation to clinical syndromes that share features with it (atypical FPIES) and other food-allergic disorders affecting the gut. Written by doctors at the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine.

Clinical Features of Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome

This article was written by the doctors at the Jaffe Food Allergy Institute of Mount Sinai School of Medicine, both pioneers in the research on FPIES. It outlines the clinical features that may be identified following studies on infants presenting with FPIES symptoms.

The Mother of All Food Allergy

This article was written as a commentary to an article published in the same issue of The Journal of Pediatrics: “A consistent pattern of minor immunodeficiency and subtle enteropathy in children with multiple food allergy,” by a leading gastroenterologist in Eosinophilic disorders. It offers excellent perspective from the medical community, and outlines the course of diagnosis for an FPIES patient.
