What do you guys do for gas? Does Simethicone work? It's really bad today. I was running around Target trying to get away from it! Then I would have to pretend someone else did it. Argggh!

I guess I could handle the gas...sometimes I just worry about what may tag along with the gas.

Tums?

It wasn't until I started taking fibre supplements daily (as suggested by my GI) that I got my gas under control (it's very minimal anymore) and my bloating completely gone...he told me to take it daily and indefinitely which I've been doing for about 4ish yrs now.

I switched to the powder metamucil that you mix 1 heaping tablespoon into 8 hours of water or other liquids and I am having bouts of bloating and gas but it is better. My stools have always been formed but I go more than twice a day occasionally. And my tight pants pushing in on my gut don't help things. They are pushing into the area right below my left ribs and that I've determined is where the stinging sensations and the catch in my side are coming from.

Gas-X seems to work for me most of the time. My doc told me they actually use the liquid form of Gas-X after colonoscopies to help clear up the air they put in your colon for the test.

GAS-X, it works wonders. My doc at UCLA told me to try it and he was right. I take half of a extra strength in the morning(needing it or not) and the other half at night(same thing needed or not). I am mostly gas free for now. Everything else I point to my husband......and smile
