Reflux and wind - worse after weaning?

Hi ladies, hoping those with refluxy/windy babies could give me their experiences. Did starting solids make your baby's reflux/wind better or worse?

I started weaning Hugo (24 weeks) on the weekend and so far it seems to have made things worse. He is on IG for reflux but that doesn't seem to be dealing with his acid as effectively now that we've introduced solids. He is back to looking really uncomfortable, arching, pulling his legs up, squealing and screeching and grunting, as well as being in a constant bad mood (as you would be if you were in pain!) He's also got the wet hiccups again, farting, burping and possetting a lot more (milk only, not food)

So far I have only been giving him fruit (banana/apple/pear) mixed with a teaspoon of baby rice around mid morning and he is otherwise exclusively breastfed. It's really disrupting his sleep as well - nighttime and daytime.

So just wondering if anyone else went through this and whether I should just push on through, or stop giving him solids altogether, or demand a stronger reflux medicine? My local HV is terrible so don't want to go to her if I can avoid it, and my GP isn't really that up to speed on reflux so I don't trust him to give me the best advice!

thanks
