I only tried Gas-x briefly, but if you find your gas symptoms are worse at night try taking one after dinner, and one before bed. I'm not sure what the dosage for them was, if it says take 2 at a time then you can try that.
As for the fennel seeds, it should work as well as the tea, except that the warm liquid of the tea is also soothing for cramping and pain. If you're more focused on gas then you probably don't need the warm tea. Try taking a big spoonful of seeds and chew as much as you can.

I had my doctor appointment two days ago.
He said
1) We already attempted to treat SIBO with Rifaxmin, the symptoms didn't go away. Tests for SIBO are not that great, and they don't know if my symptoms are even related to SIBO, therefore it's best to not retreat and retest.
2) The best thing now is try to Zelnorm for a month, and see how it is. I can also up my dose of Miralax.
3) I can change my probiotic, but try Align not VSL since there is more data on Aligh and it is cheaper.
4) Non western approaches can help, but there is not much data.
What do you think?
Good plan?
