Colic is a term used to describe spasmodic belly pain, which is a type of abdominal pain that is caused by spasms in the intestines. It is often accompanied by crying and can be caused by a variety of factors, including gas, food allergies, or infection. COLIC is most common in infants and young children, but can also affect adults. Treatment for COLIC usually involves lifestyle changes, such as avoiding certain foods, and medications to reduce the intensity of the spasms.
