This study enrolled thirty infants who presented by GIT symptoms and their CoMiSS was ≥ 12. The patients were assessed upon presentation, after 2 weeks of receiving lactose free diet regimen and 2 weeks after rechallenging them with lactose. Assessments of infants included anthropometric measurements, CoMiSS estimation, Neonatal/Infant Pain Scale (NIPS) and pediatric quality of life assessment (Peds QL). The study aims to detect the frequency of infants with LI with positive Cow's Milk-related Symptom Score (CoMiSS) (which could lead to misdiagnosis as CMPA) and validate of this score to be used as a screening tool for LI in infants.
