RE Kids with colic -

A remedy for stomach distress in adults is carbonated water with bitters.
Have you tried that?  I don't know if you could get the baby to drink
carbonated water, but regular water with a little bitters might help.
Or carbonated water without bitters, if he likes it that way instead.

Is it really colic, and not milk-intolerance?  The easement of the condition
after eating cereal might indicate that a soy-bean infant formula would
be a possible substitute for milk.  I'm sure you've considered these
possibilities, but if not, give 'em a try.

Your plight is scaring the pants off my baby's father to be!  Let us know
if you find a solution.
