Does famotidine work for bloating? ive had zero relief with it and its been more then a few hours. should i call the pharmacy and get something stronger?

Famotidine doesn't relieve bloating. It turns off the stomachs production of acid. For relief of bloating drink hot water & place heat on the abdomen. These help breakdown gas &enables it to pass through the intestinal tract & out the rectum. Don't force yourself to belch as you'll only swallow more air. Prevent gas buildup, avoid gassy foods&beverages. Take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals.

That drug is. Pepcid is usually used for reflux of acid, such as used for Hiatal Hernia.. you can try simethecone, like gas-x. Reduce carbonated beverages and eat small frequent meals… milk allergies can also cause bloating.. also food allergies ,gluten etc… Most likely, assuming, there is no weight loss or other bowel complaint, this probably IBS (irritable bowel syndrome ).
