Figure 1. Selection of patients with wheat-FPIES included in the study. Seven patients fulfilled the diagnostic criteria based on the history of symptoms, of which one patient was excluded because they were not followed up to the age of five. One patient presented with repetitive vomiting, lethargy, and pallor during OFC and therefore fulfilled the diagnostic criteria based on symptoms during OFC.
Abbreviations: FPIES, food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome; OFC, oral food challenge
Figure 2. Tolerance acquisition rate of the seven patients who were followed up to the age of 5 years. Patients were defined to be tolerant to wheat when they could consume 2,600 mg of wheat protein (equivalent to the amount of wheat protein in half a slice of bread,).
The patient who was not confirmed to have achieved tolerance at the age of 5 years was capable of consuming 52 mg but whether he could consume larger amounts could not be determined because of refusal of eating during the following OFCs.
