Be wary of the other ingredients sometimes included with this product. I picked up one brand that contained sorbitol A Laxative / FDA Approved sweetener that some people are very sensitive. Helps with Gas, bloating, and abdominal distension and relieves some of the pain associated with them.

Comment:
I get Tachycardia. Don't know why this works to stop it, but believe the built up gas actually causes pressure on the Vagus nerve. I never leave home without it. (I'm lactose intolerant and sometimes food has hidden milk solids causing gas.) BTW my bottle says to chew, not swallow whole as mentioned in this article.

Comment:
I have a tendency to overeat while I'm on my period and I get painful gas that won't go away. The drug works but to get the gas removed is to burp. The problem is I normally get gas at night and I'm up belching for at least and hour or so. It's effective but too effective to some degree.

Gas went away but I used the Simethicone in little remedies baby drops, and he broke out in a horrible rash.. Guess he's allergic.
