Kendamil - silent reflux wind?

Help!
My baby is 2 weeks old and is really struggling with bringing up her wind, passing wind and also scrunches her legs up when she’s feeding, stopping and crying. We very rarely have a feed where she is not crying at some point and after.

She is currently on kendamil, our HV said not to change her milk and try her on infacol first, if that did not work yet carobel milk thickener. Neither has worked. I’m thinking of changing her milk but is this too early?! Any recommendations of what we can do to help her or what formula to change her to?

How much are you feeding her and how much does she weigh? Work this out and then check out the NHS webpages on how much to feed your baby. It's easier than you think to accidentally over-feed a bottle fed baby if you feed on demand, so it's worth checking first that you're not unintentionally over-feeding (especially as refluxy babies can try to feed for comfort). Over-feeding can cause crying/distress when feeding and shortly after.

I won't advise on milk - you'll get loads of mixed opinions on that and ultimately the only way to know is to try and see what happens.
