Here's my "gas" survival strategy:

1.) Diet--I will not eat foods that give me gas. I take BEANO with meals containing complex carbohydrates. Heather's diet is pretty good, in general for gas. However, everyone's gassy food list is individual, so identify your triggers.
2.) Teas--fennel & peppermint are great for gas/cramping.
3.) For gassy foods I take BEANO & yes, it's effective.
4.) For trapped gas, I take generic Gas-X. There are some really good yoga poses on the boards as well. Also, usually a walk gets things "moving."

Thanks, Kate - btw, your name, Wind, is rather a bit of a pun in this thread. :P

Anyone ever try those new Rolaids Soft Chews plus Anti-Gas? I bought some and have been trying them and so far they are only working like maybe 1/4 times I take them. I know usually Rolaids and Tums type stuff makes IBS symptoms worse, but I thought maybe this would be different.
