(NaturalNews) Imagine having a food allergy condition so severe that you could only eat a few select foods without vomiting uncontrollably, developing extreme fatigue and becoming gravely ill. This is what young Tyler Trovato of St. James, New York, and a growing number of American children now face, as an extreme food allergy condition known as Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) spreads across the country.

In Tyler’s case, the few foods he can eat safely just so happen to be common allergens for people with typical food allergies — peanut butter and milk are among the few foods Tyler can eat. But things like chicken, turkey, bananas, rice, sweet potatoes, and most other foods are off limits for Tyler, as they cause him to develop severe stomach pains just a few hours after eating them.
Unlike those with common food allergies, people with FPIES do not typically have an immediate reaction to offending foods. It often takes several hours for a reaction to show, upon which extreme symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and even bleeding occur, which can result in hypovolemic shock, or the inability of the heart to pump enough blood throughout the body due to blood and fluid loss.
“He becomes pale, lethargic, doesn’t talk and usually stumbles when he walks,” says Jennifer Trovato, Tyler’s mom, about what happens when he has a reaction. “When he reacts he needs fluids. The hospital usually gives him saline, steroids and sometimes Benadryl. He doesn’t require an epi-pen but his allergic reaction can be life threatening.”
Standard allergy testing often misses FPIES and other non-IgE allergy conditions
What is even stranger is that standard allergy testing methods often do not detect the condition because it does not elicit the same immune response as common allergies. As a result, many doctors and pediatricians fail to identify it, and parents, who are used to identifying allergies as an immediate negative response to exposure, often overlook it as well.
