What is "Gripe water", is that like gas drops, or is it something found in the UK?

You can buy that here too, I am british living here in the US and I use this for my 5 month old daughter. It is a herbal/natural remedy used for hundreds of years. It helps with colic, gas and stomach upset. Google Gripe Water and you can order it online, usually about $7 plus shipping

Gripe water is a UK thing - an old fashioned remedy for a windy/colicky baby. Although it is now definitely safe for babies , it apparently used to contain alcohol, which is why our parents/grandparents swore by it - it knocked the poor things out!

it's for gas, look it up on the internet I thinky ou can purchase it over the internet too.
My daughter has gas too, it's just how it is. Imagine all you drink all day is milk, you are going to have, they just have to cry through it and it eventually stops when they poop.
