Information on Colic, adult
Description | In adults, colic is severe, painful, spasmodic cramping in the intestines. Colic in adults is often caused by food allergies, stress, and intestinal inflammation. | |
Treatment Plan | It is best to eat lightly and to eat easily digested foods. Avoid common allergens for at least 3 weeks to see if they play a role in the production of symptoms. These foods are wheat products, dairy products, especially pasteurized cow dairy, and eggs. An herbal program can include intestinal antispasmodics, and intestinal heat-clearing herbs. |
