The gut mucosal immune system has to maintain an intricate immune homeostasis by maintaining tolerance to macronutrients, commensal flora, and other harmless molecules in the gut lumen while exerting effective immune defense against pathogenic microbes. It takes the first few years of life to establish this intricate immune homeostasis and until then the gut mucosal immune system is rather error-prone. This is reflected in the fact that young infants and children often suffer from temporary intolerance to common food proteins (FP), e.g. food allergy (FA). During this period, most FA manifests as delayed type FA, mediated by cellular immune responses – often called FP induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) (Jyonouchi, 2008; Nowak-Wegrzyn and Muraro, 2009; Sicherer et al., 1998). Although FPIES seldom cause fatal anaphylaxis, as opposed to IgE-mediated FA, this condition is often under-diagnosed and under-treated. This is, in part, due to the delayed onset of symptoms that renders clinical connection more difficult, as well as, the lack of commercially available diagnostic measures. This is in contrast to IgE mediated FA in which a causal relationship is apparent in many cases and reactivity to food allergens is easily detected with prick skin test (PST) and/or presence of FA specific IgE antibody. The delay in the onset of symptoms of FPIES makes it especially difficult to diagnose FPIES clinically in infants and young children, as well as those with limited expressive language including children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). In general, FPIES has an excellent prognosis provided there is timely implementation of avoidance measures against offending food (Jyonouchi, 2008; Nowak-Wegrzyn and Muraro, 2009). However, delayed diagnosis/treatment of FPIES can lead to failure to thrive (FTT), protein losing enteropathy, and possibly other irreversible complications.
