milk thickeners other than carobel/gaviscon?
Hi
Does anyone know of any milk thickeners other than gaviscon or carobel? The carobel we've been prescribed whilst keeping the milk down is giving Harry horrendous bowel wind that makes him cry when it comes out and is waking him all night. We switched back to gaviscon today but he has been really sick. I asked two pharmacists today but neither had any suggestions.
Could I just add something like his plum 4 grain porridge to his bottle to thicken it instead?
Sorry for being such a pain this week just all these changes we've had seem to bring new problems with them!

I think there is one called thick and easy or something similar to that. I'm not sure that the milk would actually come out if you added a grained porridge, I know a lot of people say its dangerous to add food to bottles because of choking.

Yes , thick and easy , I agree with Verity they say not to put food in a bottle as it could cause choking. Thickners have been tried and tested for medical use so I would stick to those.
