Gas-X: Simethecone, marketed as gas-x, should clear this up.

Try these: Try over the counter antacids/peptobismol, gaviscon, zantac (ranitidine) or pepcid. Avoid intake caffeinated drinks, wine/beer, spicy foods, orange juice and acidic liquids, aspirin, Ibuprofen and related medicines. See your dr if it's getting worse. Be tested for h pylori antibody. Take care!

Several OTC products: Beano has enzyme that breaks down moderate-sized sugars in beans, peanuts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, brussel sprouts. Lactaid has enzyme that breaks down milk sugar in dairy products. Gas-x et al have simethicone that helps reduce bloating. Activated charcoal has tiny pores that absorb carbon dioxide. Use one for the food(s) giving u gas problems.
