Terrible colic

My poor baby has colic and it's awful. She's 7.5 weeks now and is starving but screams at every feed, can't bring wind up and gets so distressed that the only way to calm her is to put her to sleep.
She's not gaining weight well and has dropped to 7th centile due to not being able to take more than 2-3oz a feed. I don't think its reflux as shes never sick and doesn't have bad nappies either.
My first daughter was the same but she was bigger so when she dropped centiles there wasn't the same concern. I'm getting stick from my Hv because she isn't gaining weight well but I don't know what else to do. I know she's going to want to weigh her when I take her for her jags this week and I know she won't have gained much.

I tried infacol with dd1 which caused her to projectile vomit so don't want to try that this time. Dentinox and gripe water help a little but not much. Anti colic bottles don't help at all. I try feeding her sitting up and burping after every Oz.
I don't know what else to do :-(

Really pleased to say that she's showing massive improvement since the bottle change and introduction of colief. She's taking 4-5oz on average most feeds and we're maybe only getting the screaming with 1 or 2 bottles instead of all 6 in a day. She's still quite windy but the bottles seem to really be helped her not to gulp as much air.
Really hoping it continues now. She's gained weight and is following the 7 th centile now instead of dropping.
