I had terrible gas pains right after surg. It was worst than the surg. The dr finally rx something for me, while in the hospital. When I got out it got better but I still have gas. The dr told me to take the liquid baby gas drops and that works! You can easily carry it in your purse or wherever. I take it in the car, at night, in the morning, after lunch etc. It is the best thing, by the way the off brand works just the same. Hope this helps.:thumbup:
