Gas Ex worked great for me. You may also want to figure out what is causing the gas. Dairy sometimes does this as does high acid veggies. Once I was on solid foods my gas pretty much went away.

My surgeon had me use ducolox suppository and it worked for me!

Even as far out as I am, I too still have problems with gas. When I had my hysterectomy last year it was HORRIBLE and my best friend told me that a woman she knew who had WLS used the baby Mylacon drops, which help TREMENDOUSLY for me. I usually take 3-4 dropperful's of it and it usually helps. If it doesn't work w/in 30 mins to an hour I then take 3-4 more dropperfuls.

I have bad gas and sometimes a really upset tummy. I go to my local health food store and buy a fantastic herbal tea called "Eater's Digest" . It has peppermint, and ginger in it which makes it soothing while aiding in digestion and bloating, and gas.

After reading your profile, I'm wondering how you're sure it's gas pains you're having? I see that you have a leak. Could it be something related to that? Best Wishes!
