Hello everyone smile does anyone have advise/know any good products for dealing with gas. On a evening mainly I find myself burping and passing wind a lot. Particularly after eating vegetables, I don't want to cut veg out of my diet so a tablet that works or advise would be great smile

DO you have IBD or IBS or take medication for these conditions? Recommendations about OTC gas tablets depend on context. Also what works for reflux/burping is different form gas/farting

hi im taking salofalk 3g granules and 1g salofalk suppositoriesand i have UC. for the gas its more of a build up of gas i can feel my stomach going hardish and then i ill do a series or farts/burps and it seems to release the gas and i willl feel better lighter and softer. OTC recomendations would be great ive looked at charcoal tablets but decided against them.

if here is no reflux needing a ppi, then gas-x works ok.

Try using enzymes, They can help with digestion. Eat slowly, chew food a lot. Also simplifying meals. take a look at food combining principles. I find cutting out carbs helps. If you have compromised digestive system raw veggies could be a real problem. Cooked veg is easier to digest. Good luck.

I use a generic GasX type, extra strength, from amazon. Two in the morning. Sometimes a couple more in the evening. Always effective.

What helps additionally is a nice walk outside. Even if I feel fine, a few block walk relieves both types of gas nicely. Try to do that alone smile

Helps get my appetite up also.

Something that helps me a little bit is a cup of peppermint tea. It doesn't do a lot for a massive amount of painful trapped gas, but every little bit helps, right? And it's pleasant to drink so why not.
