Switching formula

so I tried to do as search for this but didn't find what I was looking for so please point me in the right direction if this has already been discussed. I even read every page of the formula feeding board and still didn't see really what I was looking for. 

I orginally was an EP and stopped at about 6 weeks but had enough stashed away for 12 weeks. But I started my LO on Enfamil Gentlease and it gave her gas and she was spitting up a whole lot so the pediatrition said try Enfamil AR and we have been using that but she has just recently started spitting up more regularly. So we switched to the ready made Similac Sensitive. LO was fussy after her first bottle  but I think it was because she was tired because when I put her in her swing she went right to sleep. I know it can take a few days to see if it is better for her and I'm off this weekend so I have time to work with her. I was just wondering what  formula is everyone else using?

    There is a formula forum, sorry can't link it. We are on Costco lactose free but also BF. I tried all above formula but DD was gassy and crampy on all of them. She is still gassy on the lactose free but less crampy. DD spits up no matter what so no advice there.

    You're doing the same exact thing as me. DD was the same way. I tried EBF and that didn't work. DD was spitting up like crazy and had watery stools. I was such a mess because I couldn't breastfeed without her getting sick. Doctor said it was my diet and when I started to pump my supply diminished. :( We started DD on Enfamil Gentlease and she had some spit up still. We switched to Similac Sensitive. Same issue. Finally we took her to the pediatrician who thinks that she may have some reflux and some sentivity to digesting the milk protein so he told me to switch DD to soy formula. We are now using Enfamil Soy "ProSobee" and she only has spit up once. She is way less gassy and less fussy.
