Eligibility criteria

  • Inclusion criteria
  • * Pediatric patients (under 18 years of age) affected by persistent acute food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome.
  • * The last anamnestic acute episode must not be more than 1 month prior to the date of inclusion in the study. The anamnestic definition of acute episode will be based on the use of Miceli Sopo 2022 questionnaire for food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome. In case it is not clear whether the disease is active or not, an oral food challenge will be performed to verify the possible acquisition of tolerance (a procedure that is part of the routine management for this allergy). Inclusion in the study must occur within 1 month of the possible failure of the aforementioned oral food challenge. Regarding patients with multiple FPIES (expected to be approximately 6% of the total patients included, a small minority), OIT will be started for the nutritionally most relevant food among those eligible.
  • Exclusion criteria
  • * Absence of inclusion criteria.
  • * Transition from acute FPIES to IgE-mediated AA.
  • * Absence of informed consent approval by their caregivers.
  • * Failure to use email by their caregivers.
