These (rather expensive) OTC little bottles of 'Beano' enzyme pills that "prevent gas before it starts!"

I've tried them, but for me while I'm flaring it's hard to tell if they actually reduce the excessive flatulence inherent with UC.

Am I just wasting my money?

You need to take them with the food at first bite. Read what they are used for and if certain foods cause you more gas, they could work well for you.

I use them on occasion.

I also use Natural Factors Smooth Digest, Renew Life Gas Stop...either of those mixed with Natural Factors Bromelain.

I find Beano quite helpful on those rare occasions I eat beans or other gassy vegetables.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I'll use them with gassy veggies etc.
