If you’ve ever felt alone navigating an FPIES diagnosis—or if you’re wondering what FPIES even is—this episode is for you.

I’m joined by Dr. Taylor Arnold, pediatric dietitian and mom of two children who had FPIES, and Dr. Manisha Relan, board-certified allergist and immunologist. Together, we break down what FPIES actually is, why it’s so often misdiagnosed, how it differs from typical food allergies, and what families can do to manage it confidently. Whether you're a parent seeking answers or a clinician wanting to deepen your understanding, I hope this conversation leaves you feeling more empowered, prepared, and less alone.

We discuss:

  • What FPIES is, how it differs from typical food allergies, and why diagnosis is often delayed.

  • Navigating food introductions, managing reactions, and reducing anxiety around FPIES.

  • Practical tips for daycare, social situations, and long-term support for children with FPIES.
