    Hey Bec, sorry to hear that your little one is suffering. It's hard isn't when they seem to be in so much pain, especially when all you do seems to not help. Hugs to you babe, I know how you feel . I hope she has started to improve since giving her the natural medication.
    I agree with hollo, it sounds like silent reflux to me, but I'm no doc. Just a quick question, does she burp well? My son got diagnosed with SR at 8 weeks, and I was very annoyed for not trusting myself earlier than that. I had seen a handful of MCHN who all told me he was a little colicky. But I didn't really believe this as he was a good burper. So I persued the issue further and went and saw a paed, who diagnosed it straight away as silent reflux and a lactose intolerance because of the SR. My son had pretty much everything you discribed. He is now the happiest little baby ever. His stomach has recovered from the lactose intolerance (yey no more soy for me) and he just has 1ml of losec each night now. I just wish I had seen the paed earlier, to avoid him the pain. So that is my advice, go see a paed, it can't do any harm (except hurt the wallet yey for insurance)
    I hope she gets much better. Good luck.
