You can probably find chiildren's tylenol liquid? Maybe dissolve the tabs in hot tea?

didnt think of that! good idea....will do...i see them both available online just not in any local stores. thanks!

when hub got me some stuff for post op

he couldnt find any gas x strips but he did find chewables and i used a few of those...

and i got the cvs brand of liquid tylenol (6.99) a bottle

I used the chewables, actually found they worked a bit better than the strips.

I bought gas x strips yesterday at walgreens.

CVS stores has what you are looking for. They also have tylenol and Advil liquid for children.

I realize and maybe in the minority but I had no gas pain absolutely no gas pain. After reading comments on this site I was really petrified of the pain but I have none. My doctor also said that using gas ex was just a placebo that would not have helped gas pain from the surgery.

CVS has their brand of adult Tylenol. Post op, I couldn't imagine having to they down tsp after tsp of children's liquid to get the recommended dose! Lol Chewable gas tablets worked for me, I didn't try the strips so I can't attest to that. I am 6 days post op and can tell you each day gets easier. Good luck and God speed!

I live in PA and Weis Mkts have strips and chewables for sale. Good luck.

Omg, i just posted a similar question not long ago, i also couldn't find gas-x strips, I'm so relieved that chewable are ok :-) i also couldn't find the tylenol, the pharmacy was just to busy to ask for an alternative, but i think I'll try the store brand.... Such great info, everyone is awesome, thanks :-)

I loved the Gas X-strips. They didn't taste all that great, but they dissolved quickly and were easy to carry in my pocket.
