Like Kristen said, when I was bf'ing Izzy during her really bad reflux time she was screaming and coming off the breast (taking my nipple with her!!!) because she was getting reflux while she was feeding - milk was hitting her tummy and acid was coming straight back up. I tried the Padbury Pharmacy medicine and it didn't work for me. I know the thread goes on about what a miracle it is, but its not for everyone. Having said that, I was happy to try anything and everything when Izzy was at her worst so its worth a shot. The guys there will post it to you if you ask them to given its a fair hike for you to get out there.
Colic is not reflux - they are completely different things (although you probably already know that). Reflux is gut issues with acid coming up. Colic is wind issues that go from the gut down. Some babies suffer from both, but just having one doesn't mean you also have the other.
The only thing I can suggest if you persevre with the bf'ing is that you try and keep Luke a little more upright while you're feeding him - I ended up with Izzy almost dangling between my legs so she was more upright and that seemed to help a little - sometimes!!! Good luck with it. Its so hard to deal with isn't it.
