Ang dahilan ng colic ay ang presence ng mga indigestible food na dahilan para magkaroon ng contraction sa intestinal muscles. Ang infantile colic ay iniuugnay naman sa hangin sa pamamaraan ng pagpapakain sa sanggol. In adults, attacks are usually brief and infrequent, provided that there is no more serious underlying cause.

An attack of colic is generally not serious but can result in a twisting of the bowel that must receive immediate medical attention. Colic-type pain may also be due to the presence of tumor in the bowel, which again requires urgent medical treatment. To try to prevent infantile colic, the baby should be "winded" during feeding and prevented from overfeeding and taking milk too quickly. Infantile colic generally stops after three or four months of age.
