  • Description: AbstractA 1‐month‐old male, exclusively breastfed, presented with 24 h of bloody stools, vomiting, metabolic acidosis, and pneumatosis intestinalis. The patient was initially treated for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). However, after suspecting food protein‐induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), oral feeding was resumed using an exclusive elemental formula, and the biochemical and radiological findings were resolved.
