Something is going on with my grandson

[Rorey]

24. Not really

He's got an appointment with an allergy specialist in Denver a week from Monday. He's still not himself, but he hasn't been throwing up. My son is really thinking it's that FPIES (Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) is a type of non-IgE mediated food allergy that can present with severe vomiting, diarrhea and dehydration. Like other food allergies, FPIES reactions are triggered by eating a particular food), but he didn't have any other symptom other than vomiting and he was very lethargic.

I'm betting they won't be giving him any food other than from nursing until they hopefully get answers from the allergy doctor. They're going to take his older brother, who is four, to see that doctor too because his seasonal allergies are awful. I reminded my son that his oldest, who is 16, also had bad seasonal allergies when he was little. He's better now that he's older.

Thank you so much for asking. I'll be nervous about this until we get definitive answers.
