Treating Colic

The coliccalm
Difference

Gripe water, a popular natural liquid remedy, has been used for over 100 years to treat digestive discomfort associated with infant colic, gassiness and hiccups. The original formula was developed by American pharmacist William Woodward in 1851 while living in Nottingham, England. It contained dill oil, sodium bicarbonate and alcohol. However, by FDA decree, none of the brands sold in the US contain alcohol. Furthermore, none contain dill oil, presumably because it is not listed on the FDA’s Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) list. Although still labelled as gripe water, products sold in the US differ substantially from the original European Woodward’s formula.

US brands are generally one of two types: dietary supplement or homeopathic (organic gripe water). The ingredients and method of action depend on which type is being used.

Colic Calm is the only FDA approved; homeopathic brand available in the US. Like dietary supplements, homeopathic medicines are not reviewed by the FDA, but unlike dietary supplement brands they are listed in the FDA’s medical product database and are made according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) for over-the-counter medicines, using medicinal grade ingredients. Colic Calm contains no sugar, simethicone, sodium bicarbonate, herbal oils and extracts, wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, or animal products.

Many naturally-minded mothers and pediatricians trust Colic Calm based on their shared personal experiences as an enlightened alternative to harsh chemical drugs like simethicone or acid blockers.
