Infant with Reflux Hates Thickened Formula

My son is 2 months old. Because of food allergies he could not have breast milk. He is on Neocate that needs to be thickened with rice cereal, and he absolutely hates it. When I add pear juice (for constipation) he will happily eat. I don't want to give him juice in every bottle to get him to eat. But, on the other hand feeding times are miserable. Some days he will refuse to eat for hours and just cry from anger and hunger. Is there a parent that has been through this that has a suggestion? Thanks for any help.

I only give him 2-3 ounces every 24 hrs in addition to his breastmilk. I do this...
