Are there any OTC's for bloating?

[Kathy191]

Does anyone know if there are any OTC's that you can take for bloating? I am drinking TONS of water and trying to watch foods that might irratate but so far nothing seems to be helping!

Is this a recent onset of bloating or has it been going on for a long time?

Hi,

The brand Digestive Advantage makes several digestive
products and they are sold a local stores like CVS,
Brooks and Walgreens. I take the IBS, gas and constipation
ones and they seem to work well. I have been taking them for
a few months now and no bloating. Another thing that reduced
bloating for me was to eliminate all dairy and egg yolks from
my diet but I have IBS so maybe that is why the elimination helped.

It seems like I have had it for some time now. I am eliminating diary or switching to Lactade brand milk.

Hi!

Try taking Lactaide before you eat any type of food with dairy in it. Also i take Acidopholous (horrid speller, so bet that is wrong) 3 times a day and have no bloating at all anymore.. exept if i eat too many carbs. Give it a try.

Good luck.

have you tried a half teaspoon of baking soda in 4 ounces of water? This is more effective than tums, gasx, etc!

Try deleting one item you normally eat for a week or so till you find the offending culprit.

I use the natural water pills from Eckerds. But I was just reading the other day, when you bloat, that is water retain from not eating as much. Try eating a little bit more, for example, nuts. I didn't realize until this week. I have been feelin' like a moooo cow. Increasing just a little bit helped a lot. Hope this helps. Annette

Do the water weight pills work pretty good? Is it good to eliminate water retention?
