peppermint or ginger tea.
warm green tea -mixed with ginger or pepermint
Gas -X - the chewable or just get the green caps and bite into them. I can use 2-3 at a time.
Watch for SF gums or even some vitamins have sugar alcohols in them. Even little may make you bloated.
noting with bubbles - so no soda or even shakes that have too much foam - air trap in it No drinking with a straw - I know I suck in extra air.
Yoga child pose - 2-5 min - on a floor - breathe with your belly.
Extra probiotics.
Stevia does not bother me - so that's what I use.
Peppermint oil - you can put a drop (no more) in your mouth (any health food store should have real.peppermint oil) You can even rub some (one drop) on your soles.. Gets absorbed that way.
Go for a walk - and work your abdominal muscles - suck in and out - breathe with your belly - deep breathing.
Last but not least - massage your belly, breaks the bubbles -and allow them to move ...
