Abstract Clinical History.—This 7-week-old boy was seen with a history of "colic," starting at 2 weeks of age. He weighed 3,698 gm (8 lb 6 oz) at birth and the pregnancy was uneventful.

There had been no improvement with antispasmodics or change to a soybean milk formula. An older brother had had a history of severe colic treated as a milk allergy.
