Yes, like Bevrs, Simethecone is wonderful for any "trapped gas" or pressure feeling. Gas-X is a name brand. It's available in generic form, here, in Canada, which I purchase rather cheaply. The generic brand has the benefit of no sorbitol for those sensitive to sorbitol (like me!). "Diovol Plus" is another great gas containing OTC simethecone product that my MD even gives me free samples of to enjoy.
I find Beano very effective, personally, and take Beano pills with notoriously gassy & personally bothersome veggies. (It doesn't work on everything, I find, so I just omit that which it doesn't effectively assist from my diet. ONIONS is one that it just doesn't help with, personally. Broccoli & Cauliflower, but NEITHER ONIONS nor garlic. Ditto for potatoes & tomatoes & carrots. I won't share my Schindler's list of exiled vegetables!)
Also, I believe that alot of people do not effectively chew their food & that is a terrible gas-causer. So is eating too quickly.
Kate, IBS-D.
