[Food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome]

Area of Science:

• Gastroenterology
• Internal Medicine
• Clinical Diagnosis

Background:

• A lesser-known pathology is experiencing a rise in diagnoses.
• The condition presents with predominant late-onset vomiting post-food intake.
• It manifests in both insidious chronic and explosive acute forms.

Purpose of the Study:

• To detail the clinical presentation of this increasingly diagnosed pathology.
• To emphasize the importance of a typical, reproducible clinical history in diagnosis.
• To identify common food triggers, including milk and soy.

Main Methods:

• Clinical case review.
• Analysis of patient symptomology and food-related history.
• Diagnostic criteria based on typical presentations.

Main Results:

• Late vomiting after food intake is the predominant symptom.
• A reproducible clinical diagnosis is achievable through characteristic patient history.
• Commonly implicated foods include milk and soy, with occasional identification of unusual triggers.

Conclusions:

• The pathology, though less known, is increasingly recognized.
• Diagnosis relies heavily on a typical clinical narrative and identifying specific food intolerances.
• Awareness of chronic and acute presentations aids in timely diagnosis and management.
