Simethicone for Gas "I was having terrible stomach pains. Couldn’t fall asleep or get comfortable. Couldn’t even stand up straight. My girlfriend was tired of hearing me moan so she suggested I take Gas-X. After about 3-4 minutes, the pain started to break up and my bowels were able to move the gas build-up out in the form of a fantastic symphony of flatulence. Absolute bowel ringers for about an hour. Not only was it great relief, it was just a great time. Wonder if you can just take this product for fun? I don’t know. But if you have stomach or gas pains, this is the product."

Simethicone for Gas "Just coming off antibiotics for diverticulitis and could not get my gut to settle down. After over a week of severe gas and bloating with no relief in sight, the doctor told me to try Gas-X. I took the maximum dose and for the next 3 hours, burped and farted. It was both relieving and intense. I felt like there was a war going on inside of me. Finally things calmed down and I'm greatly relieved."

For Gas "I deal with severe IBS on an almost daily basis, and most brands of simethicone help a lot when it comes to relieving gas. A word of warning, however - be sure to read the inactive ingredients list! Some brands contain sorbitol, which can cause painful reactions in many IBS sufferers, including gas! Gas-X uses sorbitol and mannitol in some of its formulations, so choose carefully."

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!"

"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."
