Food Protein-Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) is a non-IgE mediated food allergy primarily affecting infants, characterized by severe gastrointestinal symptoms such as projectile vomiting and diarrhea. It is often misdiagnosed and can mimic septic shock. Diagnosis typically involves medical history and may require supervised oral food challenges, as standard tests are usually negative. Common triggers include cow's milk and soy, with treatment focusing on avoidance of these foods and symptomatic management during acute episodes. Most children outgrow FPIES by age three.
