Hi everyone,
I wasn't 100% sure where abouts on the forum to post this but I did want to share a discovery I've made recently.
I'm from Australia and Beano isn't sold here so other then Gasbusters and De-Gas there's very little to help with bloating. My bloating recently got really bad and very painful I actually thought that my belly was going to burst it was that bad, so reluctantly my chemist gave me Activated Charcoal tablets.
Now while it's not ideal be taking these tablets while taking other medication(it can effect how well/if at all you absorb the medication) I have been taking one pill in the middle of the dayish(between my medication) and wow! I swear that it cuts my bloating in half and I find that it's so much easier for me to be doing things like finding clothes that fit(I bloat 5inches or so which means I go from one size up to another). I just thought that I'd share this discovery with others encase they're really struggling with the bloating, I know it's very personal but it's worth a shot.
