A patient is described who was found to have both eosinophilic enterocolitis and visceral neuropathy with chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. The etiology and pathogenesis of this rare combined disorder of the gastrointestinal tract are discussed. Although eosinophilic enterocolitis is amenable to conservative treatment, surgery may be necessary for palliation in selected patients with pseudo-obstruction due to visceral neuropathy.

Background: Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) is a non-IgE-mediated allergy without known biomarkers. We aimed to compare fecal biomarkers related to gut inflammation and immunity in children with FPIES, with resolved FPIES (tolerant), and in matched controls.
Methods: Stools were collected from FPIES children on elimination diet, before and after an oral food challenge (OFC) performed to assess their natural tolerance, at the end of a follow-up in tolerant FPIES children, and in matched controls (1:1 ratio).

Article Synopsis
- - Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis (FPIES) is a type of food allergy that occurs primarily in children and is characterized by symptoms such as delayed vomiting, lethargy, and pale skin, typically emerging 1-4 hours after consuming the allergen.
- - Despite increasing recognition of FPIES, its exact causes remain unknown, and there are no specific tests to diagnose or track the condition's progress.
- - A recent workshop by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) focused on FPIES, discussing current understanding, research gaps, and future priorities for improving diagnosis and management.

We successfully treated a 4-year-old girl with short bowel syndrome and eosinophilic enterocolitis with teduglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-2 analog. Her eosinophilic enterocolitis was cured without relapse, and we were able to increase enteral nutrition. We found that teduglutide had an anti-inflammatory effect in this patient with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease associated with short bowel syndrome.

Background: Adult food-protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) has recently been recognized, and there are no international diagnostic criteria for this disease. Differentiating adult FPIES from immediate-type food allergy reactions and providing specific treatment for each in an emergency are important, but methods have not been developed.
Objective: To develop a diagnostic scoring system for adult FPIES by comparing it with an immediate-type food allergy (IgE-mediated food allergy [IgE-FA]).
