Food allergy is a prevalent disease worldwide that is a significant quality-of-life burden, and accidental exposures to food allergens may elicit severe, life-threatening reactions such as anaphylaxis. The threshold level, or the dose that triggers an allergic reaction determined by oral food challenges, varies considerably among individuals suffering from food allergies. Moreover, IgE concentration, diversity, or function can only partially explain this variation in threshold; pathogenic effector T2 cells have also been found to contribute to the eliciting dose.

- FPIES is a type of food allergy that affects the stomach and intestines, and the study looked into its effects and related factors.
- The research found that certain foods like oats, rice, and cow's milk often trigger FPIES, and many patients had a family history of other digestive diseases.
- Patients with more food triggers, especially cow's milk and bananas, were more likely to avoid foods and have trouble gaining weight.
