My granddaughter has been diagnosed with fpies. She also has unusually fat wrists and ankles. Almost to the point of folds. I have never seen this on a 7 month old. Is there any relation to fpies? She is still on breast milk with only a few fruits because of the food allergy.
Hi, Thank you for asking question on Chat Doctor. Strict avoidance of trigger foods is the key to the efficient treatment. Edema of wrists and ankles is an uncommon symptom, may occur due to protein deficiency and failure to thrive. Consult Allergist who will prescribe hypoallergenic foods for your baby.
