Allergic proctocolitis (FPIAP)

A non-IgE food protein reaction in infants causing mucus or blood in the stool, typically without other symptoms; most commonly triggered by cow's milk or soy protein passed through breast milk or via infant formula. Generally benign; resolves with elimination of the trigger and is almost always outgrown by age 1.
