Posted by Courtney Lopez on
Finding a safe food for your child can be a challenge, finding a safe chocolate can be even more challenging for a child with food allergies. Most chocolate contains soy, nuts, or processed around those allergens. My daughter suffers from a food allergy called FPIES.
Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) is not your typical food allergy where you would see hives, fast reaction, anaphylaxis, these are IgE-mediated. FPIES is Non-IgE-mediated, meaning you can’t do skin/blood tests, it’s typically an internal manifestation however more people are saying their children also suffer some external symptoms like eczema.
