Anything else for gas?

kmc217

I am in misery and have been for 3 days now. I have the worst bloating and gas pain imagineable. I have been living on Tums, Simethicon tabs and gingerale. I have taken several long walks. I tried the "wind relieving" yoga pose and my kids gripe water. The gingerale helps the most but only for a very short time and I don't want to be guzzling multiple cans of sugary soda. It hurts whether I have eaten or not and wakes me in the middle of the night. I NEVER had anything like this with my first two pregnancies.

Am I missing anything?

I lived on the CVS brand gas relief chewables last pregnancy. I would take 3 at a day and be good all day. That brand worked better than any other simethicone brand for me. Also beware of what foods you're eating that can be causing gas and avoid anything carbonated. I hope you find some relief soon!!

Hell yeah, this is me too! I am in so much pain after I eat because of gas!

I haven't found anything to help besides not overfilling myself and eating more regular meals. If I go too long without eating and then eat a big meal it's definitely worse.

Good to know! I wasn't sure if there was any OTC medicine that was OK. This sounds like a good option to try. Thanks!
