Just to respond to part of Allison Montag's post on the baby with FPIES 
update issues:

Allison wrote:  "Since dairy is a common trigger for FPIES, I would think 
that beef should
be avoided as well. Does anyone agree or disagree?"

I have only a personal experience to draw on, but I had already been off 
dairy for years before having a raft of allergy tests.  For some time prior 
to the tests I had noticed a vaguely queasy feeling after eating a 
home-cooked veal casserole, which at the time was my main form of beef. It 
smelt delicious in the oven, but as soon as I ate some, I'd regret it. After 
testing, beef was one of the foods I was advised to exclude. So I went off 
beef for a few years and no longer have that after effect since 
reintroducing it.
Dairy was a different matter. I can remember anything from wheezing to an 
asthma attack in association with dairy. (I first realised that dairy was 
the issue when I noticed I wheezed in relation to eating yoghurt made from 
cow's milk, yet no such effect happened when I had sheep's milk yoghurt or 
goat yoghurt.) Later, there was an apparent link between bleeds by bowel and 
consumption of dairy proteins in cheese or yoghurt. (Very scary!)  An 
underlyng cause turned out to be a large polyp, but the actual bleeds 
happened in association with dairy (which is why i delayed having this 
checked).
These days I seem to be able to eat cow cheese occasionally (at functions) 
or have the occasional chai latte, but I would never make it a regular 
practice.
