Help with formula and tummy pain

I’m really sorry to post this but I’m quite desperate. My little boy is formula fed and has Hipp organic formula stage 1. He has always been a little refluxy which has settled more recently but he seems to always been in some discomfort with his tummy. Sometimes I hear gurgling and more recently he will only take half his usual feed and seems in pain. He struggles to go to the loo unless I massage his tummy twice a day and when he goes it is this green colour and pasted consistency. Is this normal? Do I need to change formula? Could it be more serious? I have asked the doctor who told me to see how it goes but I’m worried I’m causing him pain unnecessarily. Any advice would be really appreciated!!

The HV will usually recommend speaking them before chopping and changing formula. It sounds like it could possibly be CMPA. Try speaking to the HV/GP about this (preferably if you have a log of symptoms, times of feeds then what happened and when, bowel movements, etc. although they may get you to do that after).
