CMPA?

Could someone please advise if this seems like my daughter may have CMPA.
I am struggling to get any help from
doctors with my daughter , although CMPA has not been mentioned to them yet , but they haven’t mentioned it to me either despite me explaining her symptoms.
Since week 2 my daughter cries hysterically after every feed - she is formula fed.
Legs pulled up to her stomach , arms flying around , face bright red , crying anything from 30 minutes to 2/3 hours at a time. Struggling to sleep due to the pain , the crying is to intense (a pain cry), silent reflux (you can hear her swelling it back down) , hates being laid on her back/laid down , only wants to be help in an upright position.
we been told it’s ’colic’ - we have tried infacol, cow & gate, changed to cow & gate comfort (made a slight improvement), colief drops (still using), dentinox , gaviscon (this made it worse as we had to go back to normal cow and gate milk).
We are getting her tongue tie cut in a couple days - not sure if this will improve her?
Taking her to a chripractor - had around 5/6 sessions now.
we are honestly struggling as this has been going on for 2 months now and baby girl is in so much pain!
To add she doesn’t have blood in her stool, she doesn’t have a rash (she does have dry skin around her eyes and eyebrows) and is gaining weight.
any advise would be helpful so we can push this to the doctors as we are getting no help!

It doesn’t sound like CMPA to me, more like issues with wind/reflux.

My sister could have written this @Ellradford. She's in the trenches. How did you get on since?

I used lactose free milk which helped mine with all of those symptoms within a few days. GP said it wouldn’t work, but then prescribed it after I said it helped. I’m not a doctor. When weaning we used dairy and no problems since.
