Infant colic is typically defined as excessive amounts of crying in the first 3 months of life. Many infants with colic are referred to pediatric gastroenterology as parents and providers often have concerns that there is a gastrointestinal cause for this condition although the potential association between gastrointestinal disorders and colic is debatable. It is also unclear as to the long-term outcome of infants with colic.
