Today is #FPIES awareness day. My son has FPIES to peanuts. We'd never heard of it before he was diagnosed. – at Edinburgh, Scotland

Aswell as #AHP2023 day today, it’s also #GlobalFPIESDay. I had no idea what #FPIES was, until my daughter was diagnosed with it. It’s a stressful, complex, & challenging allergy, that you have to adapt to #raisingawareness #rareallergy

If there is anyone out there with a baby or child with FPIES that has not yet taken part in this survey on feeding difficulties in FPIES, please do take a look before it closes.
Are you a parent or carer for a child with FPIES? You may be eligible to take part in this important survey. We are collaborating with researchers from Imperial College London and @FPIESFoundation to help carry out a research project on FPIES and feeding difficulties.

This is fascinating insight into #FPIES aka food protein induced enterocolitis! @FPIESFoundation @FoodAllergyCAN @jacionline
An untargeted metabolomics approach to identify pathways associated with FPIES reactions suggests that activation of the purinergic pathway could connect allergic inflammation with vomiting. bit.ly/3FbFOpb
