How do products like gas x / beano work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reduce gas: Both products contain simethacone. This is a kind of detergent that breaks up gas bubbles into smaller bubbles. This causes less distension of the intestine, thus less cramps and easier passage and elimination of gas.
