Gelmix Infant Thickener for Breast Milk & Formula, 4.4 oz Jar

Literally the only thing that has stopped my daughter’s extreme reflux. Medication didn’t work, hypoallergenic & amino acid formula didn’t help, AR formula wasn’t thick enough, oat cereal didn’t help & I wasn’t too keen on it to begin with. I do have to use quite a lot (5 scoops per 7oz of water typically) as I don’t think it’s thick enough for her unless it’s almost milkshake consistency. That’s the downside of it being rather expensive for how much I have to use & the jar only being half full. However, I will always buy this as we haven’t had any throw up incidents since though when we were living the exorcist & having to waste two hours keeping her upright with the amount of projectile vomiting every feed before that. I also love that it doesn’t change the nutritional profile of her formula.

It’s been YEARS since I wrote a product review here! That’s how AMAZING this product is. If you’re reading this, you’re as desperate as I was yesterday. I read all the reviews of this product before buying it. Shipped overnight and got it early in the morning. This has 100% stopped the terrible, and I mean horrible spit ups and reflux my 7 week old baby had. The first feeding using it still brought some thick spit up. Second feeding a tiny bit came just out the mouth. Since the third feeding there’s zero spit up. I can’t believe it! The bottle recommends starting slow so here’s we we do and is working, just typing it because this product is expensive and there’s no need to use so much when a tiny tiny bit of it just does its magic: We have a bottle warmer always on at 108F and a glass container (dollar tree cutips glass!) with water always warm. We mix a little under the line that the measuring cup has (about 1/3 of the scoop) into the prewarmed water. We have those metal small shake mixers in our glass Dr browns bottles. Shake this product with water and let it rest while we change her diaper. Then, we add two scoops of Bobbie formula (this is the thickest we’ve found -regular, not the organic) to make 4 oz of formula. We shake well. By the time we sit down and have baby ready to eat, the formula has thickened to the consistency of what I would compare to pineapple juice (you know how it’s thicker than apple juice!?). This amount is just perfect for our daughter. No need to add any more. We read ALL the reviews and decided to use a probiotic as well to make sure her gas and bowels are on point while using this product. Instead of doing the probiotic once a day (5 drops) we do one drop per feeding 5 times a day so space the use of probiotic throughout feedings. She regularly poops once a day and today she didn’t poop so I’m hoping this does t get her constipated. Will update the review in a few days. Don’t hesitate and stop questioning everything you do and what to try. Just give this product a try

If I can give this product a 10000 stars I truly would my son had laryngomalacia which is a obstruction basically a growth in his throat and would cause him not be able to drink his bottle then he went on a feeding tube fast forward I followed a face book group they spoke about this product and google search and this product came up and he is now almost 2 years old and thriving so thank you gelmix for every thing you done!!! You help my son

This is a life saver for my 7 month old who has struggled with GERD & suck deficiency since birth. She no longer chokes & gags her way through feedings and her symptoms of silent reflux have greatly reduced. Biggest bonus, she is gaining weight! Now that bottles are no longer a traumatic event, she is taking larger bottles and growing like a weed! We batch make formula for 24 hours anx gelmix mixes well for a creamy finish that my baby loves. See video. Thank you!

If you are on an amino acid formula (which is notoriously thin) and dealing with projectile vomiting, this is one of the only options that actually works. We used it to manage our baby’s severe reflux, and it did stop the spit-up and reflux. However, it is not a "perfect" product—there are significant trade-offs. The Good: Zero Calories: Unlike rice cereal, this doesn't add extra calories or "bulk" to the diet, which was important for our feeding plan. Allergen-Free: It contains no common allergens, making it safe for babies on specialized formulas. Effectiveness: It effectively thickened the thin formula and significantly reduced the projectile vomiting and reflux episodes. The Not-So-Good: Mixing Issues: This is very clumpy. You have to shake the bottle vigorously to break down the chunks. The Gas Trade-off: All that shaking introduces tons of air bubbles. Our baby’s gas became much worse after starting this, which is a tough battle when you're already dealing with reflux. The "Weaning" Hazard: Be careful when stopping! Because the baby gets used to the "slow" flow of thick liquid, moving back to thin liquids can cause choking as they have to "re-learn" how to swallow correctly. Verdict: It’s a necessary tool for severe reflux, but use the smallest amount possible and be prepared for some extra gassiness.

Amazing stuff. I have a CMPA baby with reflux and he’s actually able to keep his formula down while on this!

Dear Parapharma Tech Team, I am filing a serious safety complaint regarding Gelmix Infant Thickener. I purchased a new pack on September 5, 2025 from Amazon (Gelmix seller). After the very first use, my premature infant son began vomiting persistently throughout the day and was unable to keep anything in his stomach for more than 5–10 minutes. This reaction was extremely concerning and required medical attention. Upon inspecting the product, I discovered a metallic particle inside. When tested with a magnet, the particle was magnetic, confirming it is a foreign contaminant. Product Details: Product: Gelmix Infant Thickener Lot Number: 2410003 Expiration Date: 02/2027 Place of Purchase: Amazon (Gelmix seller) Adverse Reaction: Persistent vomiting and refusal to eat in a premature infant immediately after first use of the new pack. This is an extremely serious issue for an infant product. I am urgently requesting: 1. An immediate investigation into this contamination. 2. Instructions on how to return the product for testing. 3. Assurance that affected batches will be addressed to prevent harm to other infants. I am retaining the product and packaging and am prepared to provide them for your investigation or share them with regulators. I will also be reporting this incident to the FDA’s MedWatch program. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and advise on next steps as soon as possible. Sincerely, Mennatallah Yehia

My sons pediatrician recommended this to help stop his reflux. It helped some but didn’t stop the reflux and caused constipation. I started slow and only used half the dose, just one scoop. We stopped using the product because of the constipation. I can see it being helpful for others, unfortunately it wasn’t for us. More info can be found on their website healthierthickening.com

المنتج مفيد جدا ولكن تم رفع السعر بشكل مبالغ والطفل يحتاج ٤ علب كل شهر الوضع مكلف جدااا

I ordered 5 cans. They all expire in less than 5 months which is very short period of timr

Al fin puede conseguirse en México!!! Lo podemos usar para leche materna o cualquier fórmula sin que tenga que ser anti-reflujo
