Acid reflux causing baby to wake every hour during the night

My D is 5 and a half months old. She has never slept through the night since birth, however, she'd usually wake up every couple of hours for a feed or a cuddle then fall back asleep.

For around about a month now she's wakening every hour screaming!! Her eyes are still shut so I know she wants to sleep and is tired, the gp just puts it down to acid reflux. She's had acid reflux, colic & CMPA since she was 5 weeks old. I'd say the colic has passed. She is no bother during the day. She's on a special dairy free formula and has been on Omeprazole (which done nothing so I took her off it). I elevate her so she isn't lying flat at night and always burp her before lying her down. Tried baby gaviscon too and doesn't seem to make much of a difference.

She tries so hard to fall back asleep but something (I'm guessing pain) keeps wakening her up causing her to cry. The only thing that half settles her is sooking on the bottle (she won't take a dummy). I can't feed her every hour when she wakes up crying though.. Really needing some adviceConfused
Thanks!
