Colic-generalities
? Colic is a condition in which an otherwise healthy child has
frequent episodes and long periods of crying or restlessness,
for no apparent reason
? Characteristically, this condition appears in the first months of life and
it often disappears relatively suddenly after three or four months
? but sometimes it can last 6 to 12 months

Colic - epidemiology and symptomatology
Colic affects between 10% and 30% of infants aged between
3 and 13 weeks (at least 1 in 5 children is affected)
Characteristics of colic:
? > 3 hours a day
? > 3 days a week
? > 3 weeks
? without clear reasons
? with normal somatic development
? symptoms appear mainly in the afternoon and evening (3-10 p.m.)

Colic - causes
? despite the prevalence, the mechanism of the occurrence of colic remains partially unknown
? There are theories that incriminate the fact that the infant's nervous or digestive system
he is immature
? Concomitant risk factors are partially unknown
? Some studies show that in many situations, the immediate cause of colic is intolerance
transient to lactose caused by an insufficient activity of lactase
? This type of colic (generated by transient lactose intolerance) involves the fact
that the symptoms could be improved by reducing the lactose content of
infant food

Food supplement
? 10 ml bottle (about 200 drops)
