We have started milk again this week after our two week break, per the allergist's suggestion.
So far, no problems. I am going a lot slower. 4 oz. of milk per day for a week before we move on to cheese, yogurt, etc. But, he's doing great!
I got a stomach bug about 5 days after K was vomiting, so I'm pretty sure that it was NOT a delayed FPIES reaction, and simply bad timing. Really bad timing.
So, hopefully I will be reporting no reactions in another few days and I can give this baby some yogurt and cheese again.

Update and Article
Kyle seems to be doing better today. Although, he is still not really eating anything. Poor baby. I hate this.
I talked to his allergist today who was out of the office. He said to wait 2 weeks to give him dairy again, but to call him first so we can talk about it. He also feels it's probably a stomach bug because he was running a fever. I guess I can live with waiting two more weeks, but I can't help but get nervous about more vomiting again!
I think this next time I give him dairy, I'm going to do it in a more controlled way. Like, trying to get Kyle to drink x number of ounces of just whole milk for a week before we call it "safe". I don't believe giving him as much as he wanted was the right way to go. Hopefully if I control the amount a little bit more, and he's still doing good after a week, then maybe we can go on and introduce something else like cheese, or yogurt.
Anyway, I hope this link will work, here's another article that discusses non IgE allergies. Not a ton of new information here, but it at least calls for an awakening amongst doctors to recognize this, trust Moms that they know what they're talking about, and says insurance companies need to start paying for the formula for these little ones. Amen.
