Reflux advice and comfort milk?

Any advice please, myself and my GP think we have a silent reflux baby 6 weeks however I'd started her on the comfort milk before the diagnosis and she's really struggling to drink her normal amount by at least 60ml per session this has a knock effect for her sleeping. She's now on Gaviscon liquid but he also gave us sachets which you can't mix with comfort milk GP thinks I should stick to the comfort milk for her tummy (bad bottom wind, sore tummy) but she's struggling to take on the milk fights the bottle constantly from the start of the feed therefore can't get the milk into her. Did any of you combine the two to start with I'm conscious that I'm trying a couple things at one go and I'm getting really confused?

have you changed to a faster teat for the comfort milk as it is thicker and she will struggle to get milk out of the slower flowing teat?

Yep, we are starting to intro formula nad using the comfort milk, we had to go up to a number 2 teat, and he still drinks it slower than EBM. But if we try a vari-flow teat it goes EVERYWHERE!
