Does Food Protein-induced Enterocolitis Syndrome Cause Fat Around Wrists?
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.
