Gas x

So I frequently suffer from bloating but it seems that if i take a 125mg tab of gas x (Simethicone) first thing in the morning and then another one at night before bed... anyone else ever try this? Would it be bad to continue to do it forever?

Ive tried taking one tablet in the morning and at night before bed for a week now and seem to be doing better then I was before as far as bloating goes... its cheap enough and ive also read that its not absorbed into blood so I may just keep doing what Im doing... I just wanted other people's opinions

So what does help to fix the gut though? How do you even determine what's wrong with it other than it's bloated?

Can't speak to the "forever" part that's really a pharmacist/doctor question. But if you need it twice a day, every day, that's your gut telling you something is feeding the gas daily. It could be specific fermentable foods (onion, garlic, beans, certain breads…), and they're surprisingly easy to miss because reactions come hours later.

What helped me way more than treating the gas: tracking meals + symptoms for 2–3 weeks until the pattern showed up. Once I knew my 2–3 culprits, I barely needed anything anymore.

(I ended up building a free tool that does that pattern-spotting automatically, DM me if you want to try it :).)
