Baby refusing bottle PLEASE HELP

Baby refusing bottle please help!!

My baby is 4 months and has been breastfed this entire time. We have done bottles every once in a while to try to get her used to it but after the 2 month mark she decided she didnt like them anymore. Every once in a while she'll take it just fine. If its warm and if ny husband gives it to her he usually had had luck. Fast forward to now, she won't take a bottle AT ALL. No formula, no breastmilk no matter how its prepared. She's also colicky. So my nipple has been the only thing to calm her down.

Now that we have that out of the way, we have also come to a conclusion that shes sensitive to something either in my milk or my milk entirely. She loves the boob but I think its giving her the tummy aches and constant gas. I've cut out gluten, dairy, and soy! Its very hard to continue like this. I don't know what to eat and am low key starving and hate thinking about food/cooking. I decided its time to switch her to formula thinking it'll help her stomach. But she just will not budge on the bottle. We tried mixing it with breastmilk to get her started. We've tried hypoallergenic formula and cows formula. Weve tried different bottles ans flows and temperatures Im not sure what to do or where to turn to next. She hasn't really eaten all day. Im extremely desperate right now, any tips/advice would be so appreciated.

We've also been giving her lactose drops to help break down dairy in the formula, but like I said nothing is working. So shes either crying because shes hungry or crying because her tummy hurts and I am so exhausted. PLEASE HELP!!
