Ooooh I think I've got something for you that has DEFINITELY helped me a GREAT DEAL!!!!!
Dill seeds!!! It's the main ingredient in gripe water, used to relieve colic(gas pain) in infants.
It's also prescribed in ayurvedic medicine to relieve gas, and my Indian grandmother always gave it to me as a child for stomachaches/gas tension.
What I do is I boil dill seeds and add the water to fennel tea, but when it's real bad I'll take the raw seeds, chew em up real well(tastes kinda nasty but it really works) and follow with a lot of water.
Try it, it really does work! Also, you may want to give gripe water a try. You need a LOT more than an infant would need, but I've definitely heard of adults taking gripe water for relieving gas pain.
Also, beano won't do anything but prevent flatulence. It doesn't do anything for the gas that is trapped already in the intestine, causing the pain. Simethicone is probably a better gas medication if anything(I was told by a pharmacist that it would prevent trapped gas) but beano prevents the fermenting process that causes flatulence. I'm pretty sure it doesn't stop gas pain though.
Hope this helps!!!!!!! And let me know if dill helps you! I'm almost certain it will!!!!!!!!!!
