Wylie Definition	'colic.' SRZT 90. Text 12, 14, 16, 38, 49, 65, 66, 75. Lag-len (text 11, no. 16). SRZT 90: Contributing causes are 'hot' and 'cold' classified disorders due to 'worms' (srin bu) and disagreeable diet. Although there are many types, they may all be placed in the categories of 'hot,' 'cold,' 'worm,' and 'infectious' glang thabs. Whenever there is pain below the upper opening of the stomach (lhen sne), it is "stomach glang thabs." If below the navel, it is "intestinal glang thabs." If in the vicinity of the navel, it is "abdominal glang thabs." If on the right side, it is "blood glang thabs." If on the left side, it is "worm glang thabs." If in the middle it is called "tsampa (parched barley flour) glang thabs." If there is jumpiness, lethargy and sweating, it is "hot glang thabs (caused by 'heat disorders'). Without the jumpiness and lethargy, it is "cold glang thabs (from 'cold disorders'). When it is caused by too much milk or sweet foods, the pains are like a hot piercing or as if wound up in a ball. When there is much jumpiness and lethargy, and one cannot bear to stand up, it is 'worm glang thabs." When it feels like a knife is stirring around in the stomach and intestines, it is 'infectious lhan thabs. See Glang thabs (Acute Diseases of the Organs of the Abdominal Cavity) and their Correction in Tibetan Medicine, ed. by B.V. Semichov, in TM IV (1981).
