24. Supporting Babies with FPIES, with Ingrid Roche

This week, I’m joined by Ingrid Roche, an Accredited Practising Dietitian and co-director at Advanced Dietitians Group in Perth, to chat about food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in babies. With over 20 years of experience, Ingrid specialises in paediatrics and food allergies, and is passionate about helping families find practical nutrition solutions. In this episode, we unpack everything parents need to know about FPIES, from recognising the signs to navigating food introductions with confidence.

Listen in and discover:

● What FPIES is

● How it differs from other allergies

● Signs and symptoms

● Risk factors for developing FPIES

● Foods that commonly trigger reactions

● How FPIES is diagnosed

● Treatments for hospital presentations

● Foods to be cautious of if your baby has FPIES

● Introducing common triggers to your baby

● Whether FPIES trigger foods affect breastfeeding mothers

● Food labelling that says ‘may contain’
