Happier Janet,

I've been eating lots and lots of fruits and vegetables, and when I get these chest pains, it really scares me. Someone recommended Beano to me in the chat, so I think I'll try it.

"Take BEANO before and there will BE NO gas" - i love that phrase

Mouse & CFE,

I'm almost 24, and last year I went to the cardiologist due to chest pains, but he didn't find anything. I'm only beginning to come to terms with my chest pains being anxiety related or bloating-related. Whenever I get a chest pain, I try to remain relaxed, and I try to force myself to release the excess gas in my chest area. The pain isn't constant so I guess that's a good sign.

I know when I went to the doc I was telling her about my anxiety and I was also telling her that I thought I had IBS. She said the two things are related and the more anxiety you have the worse it becomes. I too seem to have lots of gas. I don't think that's something to worry about. And if you are eating lots of fruits and veggies that adds to it. Hope that helps.

HEY SHIKSA I HAVE ALSO HAD THAT PROBLEM AND I TAKE EXTRA STRENTH GAS-X FOR IT IT WORKS GREAT!!! IF YOU TAKE IT BEFORE YOU EAT IT WILL STOP THE GAS ALL TOGETHER AND YOU CAN USE IT FOR WHEN YOU NEED IT ANYTIME .

Lizzy,

I am eating lots of fruits and vegetables, so im sure that's what contributing to much of my excess bloating.


Jaden's mom, i take gas-x and its great. Someone mentioned a product that has aluminum. I hope gas-x isnt one of those products

Shiksa,

Gaviscon is a complete antacid, it also has anti gas ingredients. Some people are scared of aluminum because there are studies that say it can lead to alzheimers but this is aluminum/magnesium so it is not the same thing as in aluminum cookware. It is compatible with most medications and can also help with the cramping from IBS.

I get them at the Vitamin Shoppe on the web. My mother is off the embrel shots, and waking without pain, and without her walker, her arthritus has totally turned around. Keep looking up
