Robin/Colic/Ovol

[Guest guest]

Hi Rob,

Give that little guy and yourself a big hug for me, sweetie...

I know that they make Gripe alcohol free now too...I guess the

studies have just shown it to be less effective than the ovol. Ovol

is the brand name and the generic name is called simethicone and in

Canada you can get it at any pharmacy, including Walmart where I

bought some in preparation.

I am glad it is not happening for three hrs at a time, but those 10-

25 mins must seem like a lifetime for both of you! Perhaps it still

could be colic but that he gets rid of the gas, etc quicker than

some babies? Is it happening in the evening? Typically colic is in

the evening.

My thoughts are with you, my friend,
