Hi! My baby turned 6 months last weekend and was unfortunately diagnosed with FPIES a bit before that. Right now the only known trigger is oats, possibly peanuts. Anyway....I am anxious of course but wanting to introduce eggs asap due to the research about allergens etc etc, and only feeling comfortable doing allergens and high risk FPIES triggers on the weekend.

Problem is - our fridge broke so we are without for at least a few days. What is everyone's thoughts on buying pre hard boiled eggs from the store? My plan was to just mash with BM for the first couple days prior to starting scrambled strips. By time I am ready to go to scrambled we should have a new fridge 🤞

Hi all! My almost 6 month old had a pretty classic FPIES reaction yesterday. He has oatmeal and peanut butter mixed, both of which he had 3+ times prior with no reaction. He had a significantly increased volume of oatmeal and that is what we are thinking the culprit was more than the PB. He projectile vomited about 3 hours later, went grey and limp, low BP etc etc. We ended up going to the ER by ambulance and it took a few hours and some IV fluids for him to perk up but he is back to himself this morning

We went to the Pediatrician who is sending us to an allergist, hoping to get an appt at the FPIES clinic at CHOP. In the meantime she encouraged us to continue introducing other allergens

My question, baby exclusively gets breast milk other than the slow intro to solids. Should I avoid oats and peanuts for now? Ped said no need and I plan to ask the allergist. But I am feeling inclined to avoid. They're both a huge part of my diet tho!

Thanks for any input!
