Disease/Condition Glossary

• Gastrointestinal conditions such as abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and infantile colic are common issues affecting the digestive system. Abdominal pain can be cramping or sharp, while bloating and gas often occur due to indigestion, diet, or underlying conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In infants, colic presents as prolonged crying and discomfort, typically due to gas or immature digestion. Causes include poor eating habits, food intolerance, and infections. Treatment involves dietary changes, medications, probiotics, and soothing techniques in infants. Encourage your child to eat slowly and avoid carbonated drinks or gas-producing foods like beans to reduce bloating and flatulence. For a breastfed baby, including a few extra burping breaks during feeds can help avoid bloating.
