Are there any over the counter medications I can take for my bloating episodes?


Some people have frequent bloating episodes and feel miserable all day. For these people there are some over the counter medications.

BeanoTM contains enzymes that breaks down complex carbohydrates and vegetables. BeanoTM is said to decrease gas and belching but this does not always lead to a reduction in bloating. Less than 10% of individual benefit from this medication.

Other formulas to ease bloating include simethicone and activated charcoal. Both Gas X and Charcoaps are used to treat excessive gas and bloating but unfortunately do not always works. Charcoaps is hard to consume and makes most people feel worse than the bloating sensation

Some people swear that probiotics can help erase bloating. However, less than 10% of people surveyed claim that probiotics help.
