I found that taking a probiotic (friendly bacteria) supplement helped immensely with DS colic as it passes through the breastmilk and aids their digestion. You can even buy infant probiotics in powder form from selected health food stores and phamacies and add it to some expressed breastmilk. Needs to be kept in fridge. If you or bubs were administered antibiotics during or post birth this is vitally important as antibiotics kill off the probiotics which are vital for optimum digestion and assimilation of nutrients.
The nutritional/probiotic supplement In-Liven by Miessence is really good - I think they have it in the belly belly store. There is also an article on it here in bellybelly.
Like someone else said chiropractic care is also meant to be great for colic.
Other than that - I found feeding DS upright in a carrier helped somewhat - as did lifting up his knees to his tummy to expel wind. Hang in there - its a rough time but it will get better soon.
HTH.
