Simethicone drops vis Gripewater?

Hi I was wondering, we have used the Simethicone drops commonly known as Mylicon drops for our two month old daughter since she was about 5 days old. She tends to have gas and refulx problems. We found the formual that works great for us so I know that's not the problem. A couple days a week though for two weeks know she suffers from relly bad reflux pain. I was wondering if any of you have found gripe water to be useful. I read up on it and it sounds like mom's recommoned it but the medical comminity doesn't really. A friend told me about probiotics but I am not sure that it's wise to put a two month old on that type of herbal supplement. Just curious what others have to say about Gripe water vs Simethicone drops. As for as the Simethicone drops we have used the Mylicon ones, Target brand and Little Tummies brand and they all seem to work the same. Oh and since she can have the drops up to 12 times a day we put them in some of her baby bottles, since she tends to be one very gassy lit

Update:

Our doctor is working with us and the formula we are using works, so I am not looking into changing the formual for a third time.

Update 2:

IZZAY- I have been to the doctor. I am asking moms which they have found better, NO NEED FOR YOU TO BE SO RUDE!!!!! if you read my question you would have seen that I had been to the doctor.

    I don't recommend any of it, but if you try gripe water make sure what you are using is not made in Mexico as it has a fairly high level of alcohol in it and not necessarily water you'd want to put in an infants mouth as well.

    Probiotics won't hurt, and you don't need to use much - just a sprinkle, especially since she's on formula anyway. There are formulas out there made with probiotics in them besides, so if I were you I'd first investigate that line after consulting with her pediatrician who can prescribe effective relief for reflux in infants.

    You guys did a great job mayne. I'm not feeling strong about my "Coming Clean" beat doe:(. Idk. :D K thanks. @CJ, It's called sampling. Producers do it all the time. Besides I messed around with the sample. I used the original loop just for the beginning then I flipped it around. It's not like I made people pay for the track anyways it was free. @CJ, I just f*cking said I mess around with the loop. I only used the original in the beginning because the sample I messed around with didn't fit well. I added my own lead that sample that wasn't snatched but chopped up was mostly for the background vibe anyways. I didn't snatch it. I spent 2 or 3 f*cking weeks on "Ride to This" Beat. Every day. I didn't even know Dr. Dre or Diddy supposedly did that. What I did was sampling. Every damn producer I've ever listened to sampled and I sampled the way they sampled it. Please OH Please name a "real" producer in Hip-Hop who doesn't sample like that!
