Gas X Thin Strip Vs Gas X Chewable For After Surgery

[MissPYT 3]

i've gone to 4 stores and no one seems to have the gas x thin strips even walmart!! is it ok to get the gas x chewables? or will it be too much for the day of/right after my surgery? which is this monday nov 19th

also...no tylenol at any of the stores either...some kind of recall...just my luck...

You can probably find chiildren's tylenol liquid? Maybe dissolve the tabs in hot tea?

I used the chewables, actually found they worked a bit better than the strips.

I bought gas x strips yesterday at walgreens.

CVS stores has what you are looking for. They also have tylenol and Advil liquid for children.

I realize and maybe in the minority but I had no gas pain absolutely no gas pain. After reading comments on this site I was really petrified of the pain but I have none. My doctor also said that using gas ex was just a placebo that would not have helped gas pain from the surgery.

CVS has their brand of adult Tylenol. Post op, I couldn't imagine having to they down tsp after tsp of children's liquid to get the recommended dose! Lol chewable gas tablets worked for me, I didn't try the strips so I can't attest to that. I am 6 days post op and can tell you each day gets easier. Good luck and God speed!

Omg, i just posted a similar question not long ago, i also couldn't find gas-x strips, I'm so relieved that chewable are ok :-) i also couldn't find the tylenol, the pharmacy was just to busy to ask for an alternative, but i think I'll try the store brand.... Such great info, everyone is awesome, thanks :-)

Sorry for the double posts :-\

Acetaminophen is the generic form of Tylenol. It should be available at most stores even if Tylenol is on re-call.

I loved the Gas X-strips. They didn't taste all that great, but they dissolved quickly and were easy to carry in my pocket.
