How chew gas x work, how is best to take it before u eat, about 20 minutes or 10 mins?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
After eating: Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that allows gas bubbles to pass more quickly. Simethicone does not prevent formation of gas bubbles. Based on this action, it would be better to take after you eat when symptomatic, as the directions on the package indicate.
