What helps gas pains other than gas-x?

If you're sure it's intestinal gas that causes abdominal bloating, drinking hot water and applying heat to the abdomen helps break down the gas and allows the bubbles to be passed down and out the rectum which is how gas is supposed to be passed.

Avoiding gas producing foods, relaxing physical activities among others. Constipation is many times part of the problem and should be recognized and prevented if involved in your symptoms.
