Mylanta Gas (simethicone) for Gas "Used it on my son who has excessive gas due to Aspergers syndrome, it will temporarily lessen the discomfort caused by trapped gas/gas buildup but the toots still have to be worked out of him or else the discomfort will soon return."

Ovol (simethicone) for Functional Gastric Disorder "There is a strange gummy residue after chewing these tablets. It doesn’t dissolve and you’re left with this gooey white substance that I had to spit out. Gas-X brand is much better. Bought this because that was all the pharmacy had."

Gas-X (simethicone) for Gas "I’ve had an episode of the worst gas pain. My upper right and middle quadrants in my abdomen were hurting and very uncomfortable. I just recently had my gallbladder out, and it felt similar to a gallbladder attack. But, I took an extra strength chewable, and about 10-15 minutes later, I felt as good as new. It’s crazy how fast this works for that."

For Gas "Didn’t work at all for me. I had severe period cramps and gas pains. I took 3 200mg Advil and it stopped the uterus contractions but it didn’t help the gas pain. Took a Phazyme afterwards to help with gas and I’ve never been in so much pain in my life. I was bed-ridden all day. It made me feel constipated."
