Sounds to me like she is showing signs. For me the biggest sign is the fighting while eating. My son had reflux and colic. We used Nuetramigin but it was very expensive...our pediatrician gave us tons for free...It helped our son grew out of it by 4 months. Ask your doc for some free sample, register online for coupons ect.....Talk to you doc about meds or other options as well.

I have no idea. If the similac is working, as costly as it is I would stick with it. If it is not helping, i would talk with the doctor again, and let them know how concerned you are. That you would like to find out the direct cause of her issues. I am sorry she is not feeling well, good luck. Sorry I don't have better advice. Maybe it is the kind of bottle you are using that lets in to much air? Dr. Brown bottles are amazing for that.
