The best thing is walking. I also have gas x chewables, my new best friend!

Pepermint tea is also said to help

I was really lucky, but everything I read and prepared for was:

1. Walk, walk, walk

2. Gas medication from the chemist

3. Peppermint tea

4. Hot packs

5. Some soluble pain relief - I used panadol soluble.

Good luck,and I hope you get past it soon

I was banded on Monday No 5th, 2007 and I also have gas.

I had tums,I walk and I also had peppermint tea. That really helps.

I had a weird feeling this afternoon. I had some bubbles on the left side of my belly botton and it would make funny sounds and move like their was an alien in me...LOL

I just made a papaya shake with fat free milk, whey powder, and splenda. It's yummy....

The whey powder from the Vitamin shop is a caribbean flavor with pineapple and cocounut. I froze the rest to eat it as Ice Cream another time.

GasX Strips - Kept them with me for a couple of days, I love them, worked really, really fast! No more gas for me!

teeny - "DeGas" tablets work really, really well. You can buy them at the supermarket (where the bandaids, panadol and Vitamins are.) or the chemist whichever is easier.

I used them after my appendix op, and now after being banded and they are really a life saver.

I hate "herbal" tea, and what little I could get down - peppermint tea did nothing for me.

Walking does help too.
