Simethicone "Used it on my son who has excessive gas due to Asperger's syndrome, it will temporarily lessen the discomfort caused by trapped gas/gas buildup, but the toots still have to be worked out of him, or else the discomfort will soon return."

Simethicone "Great medication! Works fast too. I've had no side effects. I use it every day after meals. I do pass gas after taking this but it relieves gas pain."
