**NOTE on Trialing Foods

This is all my opinion not official medical advice or anything but if your baby doesn’t seem to be doing well with a particular food don’t push it. FPIES can build up and a little bit of spit up today could lead to full vomiting tomorrow. If your baby has a bad reaction to something, make sure to give him several days to get back to normal before trying something new. Once his system is upset, it will be more sensitive so it’s best to get him back to what FPIES parents refer to as a “base.” Base is the point where your baby is acting normally, not waking up at weird times, having normal bowel movements and not being fussy about anything. Just from personal experience, I don’t recommend trialing anything if your baby is sick or teething or having some other upset that will keep you from knowing whether it’s the new food upsetting him or not.
