Gastrointestinal disorders, such as dyspeptic issues, meteorism, and gas colics, can affect individuals across all age groups, though they present with different causes and symptoms based on age. These issues typically stem from digestive imbalances, poor dietary habits, stress, or underlying medical conditions. They are often linked to excessive gas production, inefficient digestion, or heightened sensitivity to certain foods.

Meteorism is a condition characterized by an excessive buildup of gas in the intestines, which leads to abdominal bloating, tension, and often discomfort or pain. In severe cases, it can cause frequent burping or flatulence, impacting the quality of life for many adults.

Infant colic, on the other hand, presents as episodes of intense, inconsolable crying in infants, occurring mainly between the second and twelfth week of life. While colic episodes are common and not considered harmful, they can be extremely stressful for both the child and parents due to the apparent distress and difficulty in soothing the infant.

Each of these conditions, though rooted in gastrointestinal discomfort, manifests differently based on the age and physiological state of the individual, requiring age-appropriate management strategies for relief.
