GasX



Recommended Posts

So I keep reading on here how GasX helps with gas pain. I am struggling to find documentation on how GasX helps absorb the Co2 they pump in you. Most of what I have read on line states that it is actually pain from nerves being displaced in the diaphragm due to the pressure of the Co2 and is not actual gas.

So do the GasX really have a medical benefit or is this more of a placebo effect?

While I don't honestly have a scientific answer for you, I can say that it helped me during the first few days. It very well could just be a placebo effect, but it sure did help me! Plus the strips have a nice minty flavor that I enjoyed.

gas-x has no effect on the co2 used to inflate your stomach. it's for the intestinal gas after surgery. i was sleeved on wednesday and the intestinal gas came on strong last night. gasx has helped some but it's not a cure all.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
