Has anyone else come across an MJ infant formula (Enfalac AR) with
added rice flour which is currently being launched in Australia. I
quote from an advertisement in a medical publication:

    "a nutritionally complete thickened formula designed to relieve
    the symptoms of physiological infant reflux. (A common problem
    that affects about 50% of all infants).  The real beauty of a
    thickened feed ... is that it can replace crying time with
    sleeping time and help babies bodies function the way they're
    meant to."

Get real.  If mother nature designed 50% of  babies to reflux, why
didn't she put rice flour into breastmilk so babies bodies could
"function the way they're meant to?".

Aside from your collective indignation, is this a product you are
familiar with that has only just hit our shores?  What do you know
about it? Please e-mail me privately as I have trouble keeping up
with lactnet responses during the week.
