    Soy protein intolerance can cause severe gastrointestinal issues in infants, including bloody diarrhea and weight loss. Suspect soy protein-induced colitis in infants with persistent, bloody stools after soy formula exposure.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Clinical Nutrition
    • Infant Health

    Background:

    • Soy-based formulas are common alternatives for infants with cow's milk allergy.
    • Infant feeding intolerance requires careful diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • Four infants presented with vomiting, diarrhea, hematochezia, and significant weight loss.
    • Symptoms emerged following systematic exposure to soy formula.
    • Laboratory findings included anemia, acidosis, hypoalbuminemia, and electrolyte imbalances.

    Findings:

    • Proctosigmoidoscopy revealed mucosal friability and loss of vascular pattern.
    • Rectal biopsies demonstrated acute colitis with crypt abscesses and inflammatory cell infiltration.
    • These changes were directly linked to soy protein challenge.

    Implications:

    • Soy protein-induced colitis is a distinct clinical entity in infants.
    • Early recognition is crucial for infants presenting with bloody diarrhea after soy formula feeding.
    • Diagnostic criteria and management strategies for soy-induced enterocolitis require further investigation.
