What would you do if a seemingly perfect child in your care became pale, floppy and unconscious in your arms?
It’s Global FPIES day, if you haven’t heard of FPIES take a moment and educate yourself on this rare and often misdiagnosed condition. It definitely took us by surprise 14 years ago and is the very reason Kidzaid Australia was conceived.
FPIES is a rare condition* and raising awareness is essential!
Awareness helps to inspire medical practitioners to educate themselves about FPIES care management, to encourage researchers to examine mechanisms and potential causes, and to motivate communities to get creative in how they accommodate individuals with food allergies in schools, recreation centers, and community events.

*Research has been confirming that FPIES varies in severity of symptoms and reactions. FPIES may be the severe end of the Non-IgE Allergy Spectrum. Non-IgE allergies affect more individuals than once understood.
