Grand Rounds | Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome: A Non-IgE Mediated Food Allergy Requiring New Perspectives

When

Tuesday, March 17, 2026 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

Description

Presented by:
Sayantani Sindher, MD
Clinical Associate Professor Allergy & Immunology
Stanford Medicine-Children’s Health

Planners expect learners to:
1. Recognize and diagnose acute, chronic and atypical FPIES (Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome) using current evidence-based clinical criteria.
2. Differentiate FPIES from common mimickers (viral gastroenteritis, IgE-mediated food allergy, functional GI disorders).
3. Apply culturally sensitive, family-centered dietary counseling that addresses nutrition adequacy, growth monitoring, and psychosocial burden while recognizing and addressing implicit biases that may label FPIES families as overprotective or cause unnecessary parental guilt.
