hydrogen and Abdominal Cramps

hydrogen has been researched along with Abdominal Cramps in 16 studies

Hydrogen: The first chemical element in the periodic table with atomic symbol H, and atomic number 1. Protium (atomic weight 1) is by far the most common hydrogen isotope. Hydrogen also exists as the stable isotope DEUTERIUM (atomic weight 2) and the radioactive isotope TRITIUM (atomic weight 3). Hydrogen forms into a diatomic molecule at room temperature and appears as a highly flammable colorless and odorless gas.
dihydrogen : An elemental molecule consisting of two hydrogens joined by a single bond.

Trial Outcomes

Daily Average Crying and Fussing Duration According to Barr Diary Records

The parent or guardian will complete a Barr diary to measure crying and fussing times of colicky infants . It is a daily timeline that records the number of minutes in five minute increments with fussiness and crying. The average colicky infant cries and fusses is more than 3 hours daily. If infants surpasses the 3 hours for more than three days (not consecutive) and are less than 3 months of age, they are considered to have colic. (NCT01279265)
Timeframe: 90 days

Interventionminutes (Mean)
Nutramigen Lipil With Enflora111

Fecal Calprotectin

Test intestinal inflammation in the infants. Calprotectin is made by white blood cells called neutrophils. The number of neutrophils in the intestine is reflected by the fecal calprotectin level. (NCT01279265)
