formula recommendations?

we recently switched from Similac Advanced to the Similac Spit up and it seems to have made things worse. Jack spits up almost every feeding so I thought this formula would help but he has been spitting up WAY more. Our pedi also gave us a sample of the Gas and fussiness similac but it has so many bubbles! He does seem to moan and groan alot when trying to pass gas but I didn't notice the gas and fussiness one making it any better. My question is which brand do you suggest? Once we make the switch we want to stay with it and not be switching his formula all the time. I've heard good things about Enfamil gentle ease. Do you prefer similac or enfamil?

We are having issues trying different kinds too. Have you looked at the ingredients for the formulas for gas? Not something I'd want to give my baby personally...but some babies with lactose intolerance need it. Our LO did worse on it. I've heard really g

We switched to similac sensitive because DS was getting horrible gas and DH freaked out and started feeding him sensitive. It is bubbly,but if you swirl it instead of do an up and down shake it isn't as bubbly. Also let it sit in the fridge before feeding
