Low-Iron Formula? my LO needs relief!!

[CarliCareBear]

well i have had a heck of a time finding any formula that doesn't leave my 2 month old with awful side effects. she is currently on infamil gentlease formula but it has been making her insanely constipated and in so much pain from reflux. she can't even sleep through a short nap without her reflux waking her in pain. she spits up tons and screams from pain, farting and hardly getting burps out. she wont poop for days and days until finally this disgusting explosion of hunter green poo appears!

i have figured out that she is getting too much iron for her little system to take. this would absolutely explain the green poo and constipation. i have read research that claims iron in formula has nothing to do with constipation and GI troubles but from my own experience with iron supplements i know that is a load of BS!

almost all the formulas i've found have an iron content of 1.8mg which i'm thinking is too much for her. so, although controversial, i have just bought some low-iron formula in hopes of giving my poor baby some relief.
i just can't stand to see my baby in pain any longer and everything in my mommy gut is telling me this is the issue.

i was wondering if anyone else had experience with these symptoms or with low-iron formulas?
