When You Fail Another Oral Food Challenge

Untitled design (2).png

This is for the FPIES parent who failed another oral food challenge. It is discouraging and your heart sinks. Try to find a sliver lining among the dark clouds, no matter how dark those clouds may be.


At least he has other safe foods
At least he has more safe foods than trigger foods
At least she has one safe food
At least she has a safe formula
At least she is gaining weight on tube feed
At least I am holding my child in my arms


Being grateful can help can shift a paralyzing mindset to something more that is more positive. Practicing gratitude helps build resilience and resilience can take you further through bumpy roads.


Love, Mun❤️
