The constipation is from acid blockers causing a poor absorption of nutrients.  Get the book, WHY STOMACH ACID IS GOOD FOR YOU.  Spitting up is pretty normal for most babies up to 6 months.  Also agreed that reflux can be triggered by allergies like in cow's milk formula and soy.  A good one if you have to go with formula is neocate or nannycare goat milk formula.  Reflux meds do not correct the problem but make it worse.  The problem is poor digestion...he needs MORE acid, NOT less!

Many babies who have issues with milk also have soy problems.   How old is she?
