For Gas "I had my gallbladder removed not long ago. Terrible bloating and gas pains. I buy the cheapest brand of simethicone that I can find, and it works wonders! I usually take two, and the bloat is gone in several hours. What's funny to me is reading what people have written about farting. Hahaha. How else would a person pass gas? My doctor doesn't recommend four pills per day, but an occasional two will be fine!"

For Gas "I had a lot of bloating/belching after dinner tonight. Was uncomfortable, felt nauseous. Searched my medicine cabinet and found an almost expired pack of chewable Gas-X tablets. Could literally feel it working to settle down my stomach and had less bloating within minutes. Maybe I just got lucky, but this really seemed to do the trick."

"I take 120mg gels that are a brand I bought online, because the drug store is expensive for a low dose! After Scope + Biopsy, Contrast CT scan, and blood work. My body is fine. The Dr., a GI specialist, said, 'because of the high adrenaline, and little sleep, that would be why you don't digest.' Now my next appt is in 2025! 8 months from now. Right now, I am trying to control chronic diarrhea, and bloating/cramping. Simethicone helps me a lot, it does make you pass gas, but 'Better out than in.' I am also taking an anti-diarrheal. At a very low dose. It seems to be a good combination. In fact, it comes combined as one pill at the store already."

"As I tapered my benzodiazepine dosage down, I began having painful cramps/bloating but could not pass gas or go to the toilet. I found out about 'benzo belly,' a term used to describe stomach discomfort that happens when people withdraw from a benzodiazepine medication. Abdominal pain, bloating, and constipation are a main symptom. Taking a simethicone medicine helped ease my intestinal tension. I would recommend this to anyone with a bloating problem. It very often works!"
