Babies with Colic suffer severe intestinal cramping which causes stress for the baby and the entire family. I am surprised to learn that the latest medical treatment for Colic is use of antacids. This is unfortunate since antacids further reduce the body's ability to digest protein. I have usually found that simply improving protein digestion with plant enzymes resolves Colic cases.
90% of the Colic cases I see respond to plant enzymes that digest protein, fat, carbohydrates and milk. The enzymes are helpful whether the baby is bottle or breast fed. The powdered enzymes are mixed with a little water and administered with a spoon or feeding spoon before each feeding.
The other 10% of the cases need a type of structural alignment called Bowtech. Bowtech is very gentle and the baby with Colic is treated to bring the diaphragm and hips into alignment. This area can be twisted during the birth process causing poor digestion. Usually, only one to three treatments is needed to solve the problem!
