Gas-X Soft Gels

Hi All, I am on day 4 and having gas issues. I have a huge (costco) box of gas-x soft gels. They look small enough to me but I am terrified of something getting stuck. Has anyone ever used them with, or without, success?

Thanks

Yep, I did - they were recommended to me. I didn't have any problems. They are about the same size a one of my perscriptions that I had to take and the doctor told me that was fine, but nothing any larger.

I used Gas X strips that go on tongue. If you don't want to chew you can suck until they dissolve.

the paper work from nyu said only take pills smaller than a tic tac

i read in other places to only take pills no bigger than an M & M

at first i was very strict about the tic tac rule....now almost 1 year later i have to admit i have take vitamins and meds that were about the m&m size with no problem

I like the tic tac and m&m idea- gives me a better idea than a pencil eraser.

I used those pills 1 day after surgery no problem.
