The Gasx isn't strong enough. Ask your doctor to prescribe a stronger PPI. Also remember to chew your food until it's really pulverized in your mouth. Even if eating soft foods. It can be annoying to chew 30 times but it helps more than we give credit.

Someone please tell me the antidote - so many people would thank you! I was out on a date and ate at least 6 GasX and hid in the bathroom for 10 minutes waiting for it to work. The guy thought I had gone out the back door! Have learned to take GasX on the way out the door, ALWAYS have it on you, and always take perfume!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
