Cow & Gate Instant Carobel 135g – Infant Feed Thickener for Reflux
Cow & Gate Instant Carobel 135g is a specialised feed thickening powder designed for the dietary management of habitual and recurrent vomiting, reflux and rumination. It is a food for special medical purposes and should only be used under medical supervision.
Suitable for both breastfed and bottle-fed infants, Cow & Gate Instant Carobel helps thicken feeds so they are easier to retain in the stomach. This can help reduce regurgitation and support infants experiencing reflux-related feeding difficulties.
This product can be added to expressed breast milk, formula feeds and certain liquids or soft foods as directed by a healthcare professional. It is a practical option for parents and carers seeking support for the dietary management of infant reflux.
Cow & Gate Instant Carobel is milk-free, gluten-free and sucrose-free. It is suitable for full-term infants, children and adults when used appropriately, but it is not recommended for preterm or low birthweight infants due to limited clinical data. Not suitable as a sole source of nutrition.
