Is anyone putting rice in bottle for reflux?

My pedi recommended we do this to help DD who is already on prevacid and soy. I can't seem to get the right combo of cereal and nipple size - what bottle do you use and nipple size? Also how much cereal?

    We use Playtex Ventair bottles with the fast flow nipples.  Our GI dr suggested 1 tablespoon per 2 oz.  We have started backing off on that slightly to see if our LO can handle the thinner liquid.  His spitting up is better than it was in the beginning but we find that he has to be held upright for 20 min after each feeding or he will spit up regardless of the amount of cereal.

    we did a tsp an ounce..but stopped cause it seemed to constipate them and didn't help a ton. we use breastflow bottles.
