I tried adding a cereal meal in the afternoons, thinking something more solid would stay down, but nope - right back up.
It doesn't bother him at all and it doesn't shoot more than a few inches, so the ped says it's not reflux and needs no treatment. He only eats 6oz/ feeding or less, but the volume of spit up is pretty substantial - I usually see between .5 and 3oz per feeding again - occasionally more.
I figure this is just something he will grow out of, but any suggestions are welcome - I'm on my 3rd shirt of the day and have resorted to stripping him down to his diapers and a bib!
On the plus side, the tummy pain he had been having for the last few months seems to have gone - not that he can't fart with the best of them, but it just doesn't seem to bother him much anymore.

I was about to jump in with the suggestion that it could be reflux, but your doc has ruled that out. Soupette1 had reflux which we treated with meds until she grew out of it around 7 or 8 months. Maybe your baby will also grow out of it around that time.
