MrsSnapBack 16 Posted December 17, 2019 I have looked all over for these strips I keep hearing about and can’t find a single one. Are people just getting the product name wrong? All I have found are chewables and liquid gels. My surgery is tomorrow and I’m almost out of time to find them. I ended up getting the chewable kind for now, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to tolerate them fresh out of surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tillawen 12 Posted December 17, 2019 I haven't been able to find them either! Online or in store... They seem to be unavailable and I don't see them listed on Gas-x's website. I'm wondering if they stopped making them. I've been taking the chewable version for the last week post surgery and have done alright on them, but would like to see if the strips work any better.

MrsSnapBack 16 Posted December 17, 2019 Ok, so it’s not just me then. I think maybe they did stop making them because they are absolutely nowhere to be found. Good to know that the chewables are working well for you. Good luck on your journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
S@ssen@ch 745 Posted December 18, 2019 I think they stopped making the strips several years ago. I tried looking for them before my surgery and the only place I could find them was on places like Ebay for crazy extortionist prices. Honestly, I didn't need them. The gas pains are mostly in your abdominal cavity, not in your GI tract. So, taking any kind of "gas relief" isn't going to do much other than relieve your mind or maybe offer a placebo effect. Walk, move, use your incentive spirometer and within a day or 2 the gas pains will be gone. 1 sillykitty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are discontinued a couple of years ago.Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app 1 sillykitty reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
