Problem

K'shaun is a 6-week-old formula fed infant. Since birth he has been known to spit up with most feeds. He is currently on a soy based formula as similac, similac total comfort and similac sensitive did not relieve the spitting up. For the past week, the spitting up has been worse. He seems to spit up/vomit every bit of formula given and then cries like he is hungry. He has been voiding okay but diapers have been less wet since yesterday. He is having very small hard stools every 2-3 days. When evaluating his weight gain, you note that 14 days ago, his weight was 8 pounds, 14 ounces and it is the same today. What is the most likely cause of his symptoms?
