I'm a little behind in my reading, Annelies posted this a while back as a
"flower" that helps babies digest formula.
This sounds like St. Johns bread-better known as carob.
Yes?

What is the thickener they used? Here in the Netherlands Nutricia sells
Nutrition, a kind of flower that must be given before and after a feeding
(formula or bf), and they claim it prevents spitting up.

The flower is "johannesbroodpitmeel", litterally "Johannes Bread kernel
flower". I don't know the official translation.

Does anyone knows about this product? Is this the same thing that MJ puts
in their formula?
