GAS POCKETS

my doctor has told me that bloating is  caused by gas pockets, some days although  i take miralax and it has greatly helped me go almost every day, i still get gasey, has anyone found anything that helps to relief gas pockets ?

No i am not a sipper, i believe the doctor when he says gas pockets, some people say over the  counter stuff can help, wondering what the best one is to try.. thanks

actually i asked the pharmacist , she said try phazyme, or the generic brand of it, so im going to try that, hopefully it will  work.... thanks

I use Phyazme or the store brand. The highest simethecone one there is. I think it is possible the Miralax can cause gas but don't know I take a Phazme after every dinner and sometimes lunch. I get a lot of gas pockets that affect my breathing since I have limited lung capacity so I can't handle gas. I also keep Maalox Max and Pepto on hand which help when it is really bad. I am surprised about the straw as I was told not to use a straw. One thing is cut down on cold drinks. This has made a big difference as cold drinks of anything cause gas. I am a big air swallower. Peppermint works well but it can cause more reflux if that is a problem.

You could also try taking some digestive enzyme tablets unless you can handle eating things like pineapple, kiwi, papya, those are all natural digestive enzymes, they help break down your food and normalize bacteria somewhat, helping with bloat as well.
