Evans R, Fergusson D, Allardyce R, Taylor B, Maternal diet and infantile colic in breast-fed infants. A minority of patients with infantile colic (inconsolable, agonized crying, drawing up of the legs, abdominal distention, and excessive gas associated with feeding during the first several months of life) have symptoms attributed to IgE-mediated food hypersensitivity (Sampson 1989).
