Dablink This page is about Devon colic. For other types of colic, see Colic . Image cyder rebuttal.jpg thumb A rebuttal to claims that the colic was caused by lead poisoning from cider, written by a cider manufacturer. Devon colic is an affliction caused by lead poisoning which was suffered by the people of Devon during parts of the 17th and 18th centuries. The first written account of the colic comes from 1655. Symptoms began with severe abdominal pain s and the condition was occasionally fatal. Cider is the traditional drink of Devonians, and the connection between the colic and cider drinking had been observed for many years. This was commonly attributed to the acidity of the beverage. William Musgrave s publication De arthritide symptomatica 2nd edn, 1715 included the first scientific description of Devonshire colic it was later referred to by John Huxham and Sir George Baker, 1st Baronet George Baker . ref name ODNB Alick Cameron, Musgrave, William 1655 1721 , Dictionary of National Biography Oxford Dictionary of National Biography , Oxford University Press , Sept 2004 ref However, the precise cause was not discovered until the 1760s when Dr George Baker put forwards the hypothesis that poisoning from lead in cider was to blame. He observed that the symptoms of the colic were similar to those of lead poisoning. He pointed out that lead was used in the cider making process both as a component of the cider presses and in the form of lead shot which was used to clean them. He also conducted chemical tests to demonstrate the presence of lead in Devon apple juice. The publication of his results met with some hostile reaction from cider manufacturers, keen to defend their product. Once Baker s conclusions became accepted and the elimination of lead from the cider presses was undertaken, the colic declined. By 1818, Baker s son reported that it was hardly known to exist in Devon. References http www.devon.gov.uk etched? IXP 1& IXR 100676 Etched on Devon s Memory reflist ... more details

Unlike renal colic, the phrase biliary colic refers to the actual cholelithiasis . Although it is frequently described as a colic , the pain is steady, starts rapidly, intense and lasts at least 30 minutes and up to several hours. Many patients complain of right upper quadrant pain, right flank pain, or even mid chest pain with cholelithiasis. There may be radiation to the back and shoulders and other concomitant symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea . Fatty foods can provoke biliary pain, but this association is relatively non specific. Biliary pain can be associated with objective findings dilation of the biliary tract, elevation of plasma liver enzyme concentration, elevation of bilirubin , gamma GT and alkaline phosphatase . Causes Biliary pain is most frequently caused by obstruction of the common bile duct or the cystic duct by a gallstone . However, the presence of gallstones is a frequent incidental finding and does not always necessitate treatment, in the absence of identifiable disease. Furthermore, biliary pain may be associated with functional disorders of the biliary tract, so called acalculous biliary pain pain without stones , and can even be found in patients post cholecystectomy removal of the gallbladder , possibly as a consequence of dysfunction of the biliary tree and the sphincter of Oddi .
