Does gas ex really work with an ileostomy?

Other people on here say they used it after surgery. I never did because I didn't have any gas issues

Gas X works on stomach gas; Beano works on colon gas. I don't use either, my surgeon advised staying away from Gas X because he said it sticks to the small intestine.

it works but only if you take it BEFORE You get the gas! Now it will help some after you get the gas,but its much more helpful as a precaution.
Like say you are going to eat some broccoli or something, take some gas-x first and it will lessen the gas!
Or if i know i am going somewhere and want to make sure my tummy doesnt grumble, i take two of them

It worked really well for me. It got rid of all my gas pain  rather quickly, but did / does not keep pouch from expanding.

I chew a piece of crystalized ginger then spit it out. The ginger juice seems to take away gas. I also use gas x. I never heard of it sticking to the small intestine, but so far no issues from that. Rosemary
