Acacia is making my gas worse, even at very small doses. What about ground flax seed? I used to take it and it worked great, but that wasw before my IBS got worse.

I think the best treatment for gas is fennel seed. You can get them in capsules, tea, or just whole, and they stop my gas (and bloating) fast (I take fennel seed capsules)! I would say that they work almost as well as Gas-X. I tried flaxseed oil capsules and for me, they work VERY well for constipation, but not for gas. Hope this helps!

Thanks, I have been taking the fennel tea and it helps, but does not do the job. Do you think the capsules would be stronger?
I combine fennel tea with peppermint tea...is this ok?

Yes, thanks! I take the tea, and it helps some, but really very little for bad gas attacks. Where do you get the fennel seed caps?

I just got them in a regular health store. (I got them, because I hate the taste of fennel...) The bottle said to take one with food, but I take two, because one doesn't seem to be enough.

I think that should be ok. I combine peppermint with ginger and it gets rid of all the pain I have in a few seconds!
