Rice cereal and gas pains?

We started adding rice cereal to LO's bottle at my pedi's recommendation to help with her reflux.  Well, between that at the zantac, her reflux has improved.  Well, lately the poor baby has terrible gas pains right after each bottle.  Poor thing, she can get no comfort!  Do you think its the rice creeal?  Any advice on how to releive it?  I was thinking of gas drops but am cautious about mixing them with zantac (don't want to over medicate).  Thanks!

    Have you tried feeding her from a spoon?  She is old enough at 4 months.  I know that when cereal is put into a baby's bottle, they have to suck harder to get it.  Our pediatrician told us that rice cereal is very binding and can often make a baby constipated.  We switch off between rice and oatmeal cereal every other day.  I would ask your pediatrician.
