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."

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."
