What is FPIES? Studies found out that rice can cause a form of gut inflammation in some infants. This is called, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome or FPIES. It is an inflammatory reaction of the digestive system to certain food proteins such as cow's milk, soy, meat and grains. Infants with this syndrome will suffer vomiting and diarrhea within roughly 2 hours of eating those food proteins. Australian researchers found that over 16 years, 14 children came to their hospital with FPIES. Rice remains a hypoallergenic food and it is first recommended as the first solid for infants. Be aware of this syndrome.
