Suggestion for Infant Formula That Creates Less Gas

Hello: I am hoping that one of you might be able to point me in the right direction. I am looking for a formula that creates less gas for my 2 week old son. We are currently using Enfamil lipil with iron, but it seems to create quite a bit of gas for him and it is so hard for me to watch him in such pain. Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, A.

Any suggestions?

My baby's first birthday was yesterday. She has not been gaining weight since 6 months of age. She weighs 17lbs 14ozs. I have exclusively breastfeed her even though my supply is dwindling. She hates formula, pediasure, juice. Upon recommendation from pediatrician we have done one session of feeding therapy so far. I tried giving her whole milk today, she made a face after taking a sip, so I added Nestle Carnation (pediatrician's advice), she still would not drink it. I think she has an aversion to foods with strong smell. Pediatrician says...
