My Dr. advised me to take both Beano and either Gas-X or Phazyme together about 10 minutes before eating. At first I had been taking it incorrectly and even though it worked it had to take a while to break through. It wasn't until I experimented and found that taking it before eliminates both gas and bloating 95% of the time. Simethicone is one of the highly suggested things that GI and PCP Dr.'s will tell you to take if you experience bloating/gas. There is also charcoal that is used for the same symptoms, however I personally would be afraid to use charcoal because it turns the stools black. They always tell you it's not a good sign if you have either blood or black tarry stools. I've not tried charcoal because I might get confused and using the Simethicone has been doing the trick. Personally, I use the Phazyme brand of simethicone because each softgel has a higher ingredient of simethicone at 180 mg's where Gas-X only has 125 mg's of Simethicone. Either one if good but when combined with Beano (before you eat) you should notice a difference if not a huge difference. At least that's been my experience.
I wish you luck in your research. Take care. Heidi
