Gassy/Upset stomach help

Do any of you moms have any tips or suggestions on babies with gassy or upset stomachs?  My dd is not colicky, but tends to get what I assume is gassy.  Any helpful info you could share with me?
TIA!

    Well the first question is always are you BF or FF?

    If you are breastfeeding, you will want to try to cut things from your diet.  I have cut out dairy and it seems to have made quite a difference in DC.

    If you are FF, then you might want to switch formulas.

    Oops.  Sorry - forgot that detail.  I am EBF.  I cut out milk, but still have had other dairy.  I think I will try keeping a log of what I eat for the next couple of days or week and see what happens.  I was wondering if anyone had ideas for the moment when she has gas - I have tried Mylicon gas drops, but can't really tell if they are helping.  I have given her a pacifier, but I don't want her to become too dependent on that either.  It is painful to watch her suffer and not be able to sleep because her stomach is upset.

    I recently started using gripe water for E and it works really well!

    I've used mylicon baby and it works wonders. I bf and she gets gassy once in a while.

    I also massage her belly gently and lay her on her right side, as per pedi, to aid her digestion.
