Properties

INFANT INTESTINAL COLIC

All babies cry, but if a baby cries for more than three hours a day, three or more days a week, the baby most likely has intestinal colic.

When a baby cries for hours due to colic and nothing can calm him down, this situation becomes extremely unpleasant for parents and completely changes the usual family life.

DIAGNOSTICS

Colic begins to bother babies at 3-4 weeks of age and lasts up to 3-4 months. The baby cries, as a rule, for 2-3 hours and cannot be soothed. The baby pulls his legs under him and clenches his fists. As a rule, there is bloating of the intestines, sometimes the child may have constipation.

CAUSES OF THE DISEASE

Most often, the cause of colic in infants is the "immaturity" of the intestinal enzymatic systems, insufficient production of the enzyme lactase. Other causes may be the absorption of air during feeding, the mother's consumption of certain types of food, discomfort and stress.

LACTOSE INTOLERANCE

Lactose (milk sugar) is the main carbohydrate in all types of human and animal milk, and is made up of two molecules: glucose and galactose. In order for these molecules to be absorbed in the intestines, they must first be split (hydrolyzed) by an enzyme called lactase, which is produced by the intestinal villi.

When this enzyme is absent or its production is insufficient, lactose is not hydrolyzed, leading to its intolerance.

Lactose intolerance is a common and usually temporary problem in infants, due to insufficient lactase production during the first few months of life.

Over time, the baby's body begins to produce enough lactase to more effectively digest the necessary amount of lactose, but this usually happens 3-4 months after birth.

In the first weeks after birth, the baby's body produces insufficient lactase, which leads to the indigestibility of milk sugar (lactose) and under the influence of existing bacteria in the intestines, the fermentation process begins, resulting in increased gas formation in the child's intestines. This leads to flatulence and bloating. Excess enzymatic activity of bacteria can cause disturbances in gastrointestinal peristalsis, as a result of which the child suffers from cramps.

The pressure created by the excess undigested lactose causes secretion (water influx), which manifests as diarrhea. Changes in osmotic pressure in the intestines lead to water loss. If this loss is not compensated, the child's body may become dehydrated.

HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM?

If a mother is breastfeeding, she should reduce her intake or even avoid certain foods that can trigger or worsen colic in the baby.

The mother should breastfeed her baby correctly, in a calm and comfortable environment.

If colic occurs due to reduced production of the lactase enzyme, the feeling of discomfort in the infant disappears or is significantly reduced after the use of the aforementioned enzyme in milk.

Premature and low birth weight babies are more likely to develop this type of colic. These babies take longer to digest lactose, as this process depends largely on the development of the intestines and their normal microflora.

It should be noted that lactase deficiency in some cases can occur not only in children under one year old, but also in older people, as well as in adults. It happens that lactase deficiency develops after an intestinal infection, sometimes it occurs under the influence of certain medications and under the influence of some other factors.
