He's being intentionally obtuse. OP asked for suggestions, not a referendum on gels. You, me, and everyone with a functioning brain can figure that out.
"Have you tried x (e.g., a certain food or candy, honey packets) instead?" would be a legitimate response.
"No other brand, but here's how I make my own..." is definitely relevant.
"I don't use them" is of no interest to anyone.
