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.
