Summary
Infants with gastro-esophageal reflux or pyloric stenosis may also have cow's milk intolerance (CMI). Surgery did not resolve symptoms; a cow's milk protein-free diet was required for recovery.
Area of Science:
- Pediatrics
- Allergy and Immunology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Infantile gastro-esophageal reflux and pyloric stenosis are common surgical conditions.
- Cow's milk intolerance (CMI) can present with gastrointestinal symptoms in infants.
- The interplay between surgical pathology and CMI requires further investigation.
