Gas-X strips, how do they work?

This might be tmi but I have to ask. I am using gas X strips to reduce the gas but I don't think it's working. I am still releasing gas loudly and is very embarrassing. I thought the gas x strips would reduce that. Am I wrong? How does gas X work? Please don't judge.

    I believe they work for upper gas, not the lower. They relieve the bloated, burpy feeling. Beano is supposed to work for the lower gas. I don't know whether that is an approved medication though.

    My surgeon says they don't do anything for surgical gas -- it's a completely different phenomenon than intestinal gas produced by the body. He says any relief that people feel they get from gas-x strips after surgery is a combination of what would already be happening due to time + the placebo effect.

    No judgement here. When was your surgery and what are you eating?? Are you having normal BMs??
