FPIES awareness is happening, today!! A story just aired this morning on Good Morning America about another little boy, Landon, who also has FPIES. It is a great piece and it really shows the struggles that both the families and the child deal with everyday. I would like to extend a big thank you to Fallon and her family for pushing through and helping to show the rest of the world what goes on in our house everyday.
Carter was so excited while he watched. He sat on my lap and pointed to the screen saying "More baby like me". He was clapping when he saw the blueberries and strawberries. Please take 5 minutes and watch this video.

Carter is our youngest son. He's the baby and the one who makes everyone smile. He also happens to suffer from FPIES or Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome, a chronic illness. FPIES is not who he is, but it will shape who he will become. We are journeying through this maze together; helping, learning, discovering, educating and trying not to miss those special moments along the way.
After 575 days on GAPS, Carter is offically healed. Now he eats everything!
After 575 days on GAPS, Carter is offically healed. Now he eats everything! Well almost everything! He's still eating a real food/non processed diet for the most part and we will stay away from soy in all forms and cauliflower, mainly because Mommy is still scared of those foods. We are sticking with the 80/20 ratio of foods because now he can indulge in a cheat every once and awhile and he's just fine!
