Review for International FPIES Association (I-FPIES) , Point Pleasant, NJ, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

When I first had my daughter I was very nervous to try foods for the first time because both my husband and I have several food allergies. She has very sensitive skin so we were warned she may have some other allergies as well. What I didn't know was there's other types of allergies and how they can manifest in my child. When we saw reactions of vomiting repeatably from chicken and oatmeal we were terrified.. our daughter would go from happy smiling baby to screaming, uncomfortable, dry heaving, and passing out. Our doctor suspected the flu every single time. However mommy instincts knew it was something more so we avoided those foods completely. Then upon my own research I discovered FPIES, and that's when I stumbled upon IAFFPE. I cannot explain how much the IAFFPE has helped our family. From guidelines, doctor recommendations, an ER letter, and even to helping our doctor understand we weren't crazy. Thanks to IAFFPE we were able to find the doctors for our pediatrician to refer us for our daughter. The people behind IAFFPE are extremely kind and helpful - they're always available to answer any questions and lead you to the best treatment for your child.
