Formula help!

My baby boy is 5 weeks old today, I'm new to this whole mumsnet thing (and motherhood!) He had bad reflux so the Dr prescribed cow & gate carobel powder for the reflux, and I changed his formula from Mamia to Kendamil after seeing lots of posts on here saying it was better for babies with reflux. He started them both together on Wednesday night, and loved it, was so settled and same again yesterday (Thursday). However, since 7am today (friday) he has been screaming none stop and pushing as if he is trying for a poop. He has passed quite a bit of wind but the screaming hasn't stopped! I have Gripe water, would this help with his next feed? I've spent 3 hours massaging his tummy to help him pass wind and moving his legs back and forth but the screaming still hasn't stopped! Any help or advice would be great please!!

Sounds like it could be Cow's Milk Protein in which case the Kendamil could be making it worse. Does he have any of the symptoms in the link?

Yes!! I took him to the hospital last night because he wasn't getting any better and they told me it was colic. But I had another search online, and decided myself that the kendamil wasn't agreeing with him. We have put him back on Mamia this morning with his carobel powder from the GP so fingers crossed he settles down a bit over the next day or so!!
