There are conflicting theories on why colic exists, and it's really not understood particularly well. Some people think its gas; you can try some of the simethicone drops and see if that helps. Other babies like going for rides in the car, which seems to calm them down. I've also heard of running the vacuum ( don't ask me why!!) Some think it is acid reflux, and some acid reflux meds seem to help.
This is a stage that the baby will grow out of. My son was colicky for about 2 weeks and there really wasn't anything that soothed him. He'd scream for 2 hours in the early evening and then stop as suddenly as he started. It sucks for the parents to not know what exactly is wrong with the child, but honestly, I think time is the only answer. Talking to the childs pediatrician is probably a good idea as well.
Hope this helped a little, and the baby stops crying soon!!!
