How to update the List of Webelements on the page?

As in the title - how to correctly refresh the "productList" to finally find the specific product in the catalogue?

this method clicks all the time in the button "Show Next Products" even if the product itself is visible on the page. It means that the "productList" hasn't been refreshed. 

   public void findProductAndAddToCart()  {

        //searching for products by className
        List<WebElement> productList = SeleniumDriver.getDriver().findElements(By.className("bcom--txtBold"));

    for (int i = 0; i < productList.size(); i++) {
        //getting the numbers of the products
        String element = productList.get(i).getText();

        if (element.equals("7000029644")) {
            productList.get(i).isDisplayed();
            System.out.println("Product is displayed");
            SeleniumDriver.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("XPATH - Add to Cart Button')]")).click();
            break;

        } else {

            //the product hasn't been found, so need to click "Show Next Products"
            SeleniumDriver.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(.,'Show Next')]")).click();
            List<WebElement> newProductList = SeleniumDriver.getDriver().findElements(By.className("bcom--txtBold"));
            productList.addAll(newProductList);


        }

Product Show Next Products Button Add to Cart Button

Output from the console

You could try something like this

public void findProductAndAddToCart() {

    boolean flag = true;

    while (flag) {
      flag = isNextEnabled();

      //searching for products by className
      List<WebElement> productList = SeleniumDriver.getDriver()
          .findElements(By.className("bcom--txtBold"));

      for (WebElement e : productList) {

        //getting the numbers of the products
        String element = e.getText();

        if (element.equals("7000029644")) {
          e.isDisplayed();
          System.out.println("Product is displayed");
          SeleniumDriver.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("XPATH1')]")).click();
          flag = false;
          break;

        } else {
          //don't click next here
          }
      }
          SeleniumDriver.getDriver().findElement(By.xpath("//a[contains(.,'Show 
   Next')]")).click();
    }
  }

  private boolean isNextEnabled() {
    return SeleniumDriver.getDriver()
        .findElements(By.xpath("//a[contains(.,'Show Next')]")).isEnabled;
  }
