Abstract
we hypothesized a different management of child
with suspected FPIAP, easier regarding the diet to follow.
The management pathway illustrated in Figure 1 is different depending
on whether duration of hematochezia is less than/equal to
1 month or higher. We chose 1 month as cutoff because this is the
sum of the maximum duration (21 days) of hematochezia during follow-
up
in children randomly assigned to continue their normal diet
and the mean duration (10 days) of bloody stools before admission in
the study of Arvola et al4
The most important points of our proposal are two:
• In case of hematochezia with duration less than or equal 1 month,
we suggest waiting for the spontaneous resolution without elimination
diet;
• In cases of a duration of more than 1 month, we suggest an elimination
diet and, if hematochezia disappears, we suggest a challenge.
