Description

Alshehhi and colleagues update what is known about food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome, a severe food allergy in children. Unlike classic allergy, it does not run through IgE antibodies, and its causes stay unclear. It usually starts in the first year of life, often after rice, oats, or cow's milk, foods many babies meet early.

An acute episode begins one to four hours after eating, with repeated vomiting, diarrhoea, and limpness. Bad cases drain fluids until blood pressure falls. Because the picture looks like sepsis or stomach flu, babies are often misdiagnosed at first. The review gathers current thinking on causes, testing, and day-to-day management for families.
