Gripe Water for gas?

[dancinglamb 0]

Just wondering if anybody has thought to try this instead of/in addition to Gas-X.

I remember when both my kiddos were babies and suffered from gas, this stuff was my saving grace. It's a homeopathic combination of fennel, ginger, bicarbonate soda (baking soda), etc.

Here are the ingredients from the Water

Vegetable Glycerin

Sodium Bicarbonate (15 mg)

Organic Ginger Extract (5mg)

Organic Fennel Extract (4 mg)

Fructose

Citrus Bioflavonoid Extract

Citric Acid

Grapefruit Seed Extract

I used to be able to only find the stuff at Whole Foods, but it seems to have gone more generic and you can get it at drugstore.com, Walgreens, Babies R Us now.

Seriously, *nothing* used to help my first daughter who had reflux as a baby and would just scream and cry with horrible gas pains as a newborn. We'd give her this, and she'd let out a burp like a truckdriver, then be happy as a swaddled clam. I thought it was a fluke, but it worked with the second kiddo, too. Though this one burped -- and continues to -- like a longshoreman.:purplebananna:

I'm thinking that this might be handy to have in the cabinet post surgery....
