Various things work for me. Since cutting out wheat bran and reducing my dairy intake, my gas has significantly reduced. Also, I've discovered Beano works well for me and helps keep at least the smelly gas away. I try to take it with the first bite when I eat garlic, or broccoli or any of the high sulfur foods. Fennel is great after the meal, but you don't always feel like bothering with the process. That's when I take the gas X or Phazime. Any more this is a rare thing. I also drink lots of mint tea, (and some raspberry or blueberry) which all come in bags. Just discoverd camomile too. Somehow I haven't taken many of my Pep caps. The instructions: take on an empty stomach an hour before the meal, or immediately before seem to stop me from taking them??? Although I say to plenty individuals "farting is part of a natural process: why are we so embarassed by it?" ,(some families even consider the word as swearing), I am so afraid of making a noise in public that it is detrimental to my health. When I stop it, it only becomes worse as it is then accompanied by mucas, which makes it even more fearful to let go, because then there can be more evidence of the fart. Flatulence is not permitted to women, yet males can get away with it!! In this wonderful time of freedom for individuals, why do women not allow themselves this 'luxury'? Why do we restrict ourselves, and why can't I fart silently?????
