Food protein –induced allergic proctocolitis may have distinct phenotypes

Food protein –induced allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP) is a non–immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated food allergy, which presents with bloody mucoid stool in infants. Although IgE-mediated allergy and sensitizations to offending foods have been described in other non–IgE-mediated food allergies, it has not been i nvestigated in FPIAP.
