Simethicone for Gas "For many years, I have not been able to eat out at hardly any restaurant. In either 15 minutes or up to a few hours, depending on where I ate, I would get extremely nauseous and have a diarrhea attack. This happened after I got extreme swelling in my stomach and belly. I just discovered by accident that if I took Gas-X strips, I either did not get any symptoms or they were mild. I have been able to add a few good restaurants to the places I can eat (when before it was only at home). Eating at most fast-food restaurants is still a no-no due to MSG and similars. Taking them 20 minutes or so before eating produces the best results. My son found similar results for himself."

Simethicone for Gas "I was in extreme pain, and I have vasovagal syndrome, so I will pass out due to pain triggers (menstrual cycle, seeing blood, abdominal pain, childbirth, anxiety, etc.). I didn't know what else to do. I used a heating pad, a hot bath, the bicycle with my legs in the air thing, all the above. I was so nauseous and having hot flashes, feeling faint and could not toot AT ALL. And as SOON as I took the Gas-X, I'm talking MINUTES later I was completely fine!!!! Miracle MUST have. U ONLY NEED A FEW MINS TO GET THAT RELIEF. Doesn't have to be an everyday thing for it to work!"

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."
