We use dietary treatment with success for EG in our center. Please see a report published by our GI who heads up our Center for Eosinophilic Disorders. Both empiric elimination and modified elemental diets were used in this cohort.

Hi,just wondering how you increment the doses of solids when weaning in FPIES, and what time interval you use. I would say one dose per day, incrementing in 3 days tot a normal serving size?we are just beginning to see FPIES, thanks in advance, Berber Vlieg (Netherlands)
There are no specific guidelines on how to introduce foods in FPIES but we generally start with a very small dose: 1 tsp on day one and increase gradually on subsequent days if no reaction. Of course it depends on the food we are introducing and the potential risks based on the epidemiology of FPIES and also on the patient's clinical presentation but increasing to a full dose by 3 days seems reasonable although we usually take a bit longer.
New Interantional FPIES guidelines are in the works so we may have better guidance but it will still be based on expert opinion.
Carina Venter and I have published a review article on dietary management of FPIES if that helps.

Has anyone seen an allergic reaction to pink peppercorn?
We are currently aware of two reported allergic reactions to pink peppercorns. It appears that allergy to pink peppercorn (also known as Brazilian Pepper, Rose Pepper, Christmas berry and others) may be a risk for people with cashew allergy based on cashew and the pink peppercorn berry being botanically related foods. This dried berry may be used as a spice but is different from standard black pepper or the fruits that include the term “pepper,” (e.g., bell peppers, red peppers or “chili” peppers).
Although it remains unclear whether pink peppercorn allergy stands alone or is related to cashew allergy, we are suggesting those with cashew allergy avoid pink peppercorn. Is anyone else doing this?
We have not seen this already in our clinic so far. I am going to share this information with our staff and we will likely recommend avoidance of pink peppercorn for our patients allergic to cashew. Thanks for sharing.
Which session are you looking forward to most at the 2015 AAAAI Annual Meeting? Please let us know.
Also, for those who have not already done so, please use the Program & Planner feature below to plan your upcoming scheudle before you arrive in Houston.
We are looking forward to a great Allied Health Program at the 2015 Annual Meeting. Some interesting articles have been posted on this site. Take a look and make plans to attend some sessions at the meeting!
I read a review of this year meeting at rebelmouse.com/acewriters/how-to-write-a-journal-paper-1460064802.html and must say a program has been very exciting and informative. I am looking forward to the 2016 Annual Meeting as unfortunately I missed it this year. My colegue shared her experience and materials on the innovations and it was so useful for me.
