I heard there was a tablet you could put in your pouch to help with the air from gas or something? But every health store I go and ask about they say it is not sold in pill form...?

I tried one called Diamond Trios something or other, didn't make any difference as to how much gas there was in the bag. Must admit was sceptical before I tried it as couldn't see exactly how a tablet in the bag could make gas disappear anyway and when I phoned the company who sent it they couldn't explain it either.

You need to order them through your bag/wafer supplier I think, in UK anyway. I ordered sample of the internet from their website. Have you tried Gas X which you take orally instead?

Gasx as a preventive is the best way to go. I use these gelx tabs in the pouch they don't do anything about the gas but they are like the stuff in diapers and soak up the output so its more solid. A little harder to empty, but I don't like when its watery

I think the tablets you refer to are to stop the odor, not the anount of gas. I tried some tablets in the pouch for odor. Totally usless.
