Wearing a reflux baby - help

My son was six months a couple of weeks ago and has bad reflux, the reflux had some what improved the last six weeks so we started on solids, a mix of purses and blw at lunch time. His reflux has got so much worse since we started and obviously the sick smells awful as it has food in it. He's rolling and wants to sit up and this just makes him even more sick and it's making me not go out again as I'm fed up of carrying sickie bibs and clothes and washing his car seat constantly. It's making me so depressed and I thought we were finally turning a corner and I was beginning to enjoy being his mum. Please help as I just don't know what to do anymore.

Is he medicated?
Is it all good triggering him?
One of mine could only tolerated baby rice, mashed peas, pears, potatoes and white fish for months. He would only tolerate Heinz pouches and meals when we needed something out and about.

@Spareincoming he was on omprezole but that was stopped 2 months ago. It never stopped him being sick, but helped with the pain (I think). It seems to be everything he's bringing up, maybe I need to look at some different foods to see what he can tolerate. He's exclusively breastfed and is happy being on the boob lots still and weighs over 20lbs, so he's a very good size

No, omeprazole won’t have stopped the sick, it lowers the acidity I think, so less pain. All of my DC have been on gaviscon to thicken milk and omeprazole throughout weaning.
Are you on the reflux babies support uk Facebook group? It’s very useful. And have you heard of the reflux traffic light foods? It’s on Pinterest if you google it - it’s been good for two of mine but not others.

@Spareincoming thanks for the tips, I'll make sure to look into the group and Pinterest

Is it definitely just reflux? Dc1 was always sick with reflux whilst medicated & weaning was truly awful as he vomited everything everywhere to the point I dare not feed him. It turned out he had CMPA, maybe worth looking at.

@EcoCustard he doesn't show any of signs of CMPA, so I really don't think it could be that
