"I used to experience severe chest pains that would move into my back until and think I was having a heart attack but after I found Gas-X, it was like a lifesaver. The pain was just wind - but man, that can hurt."

"Just coming off antibiotics for diverticulitis and could not get my gut to settle down. After over a week of severe gas and bloating with no relief in sight, the doctor told me to try Gas-X. I took the maximum dose and for the next 3 hours, burped and farted. It was both relieving and intense. I felt like there was a war going on inside of me. Finally things calmed down and I'm greatly relieved."

"This is a lifesaver. I don't use it every day and I only take 1 pill. Max is 2. It relieved it rather quickly! Took it before bed, felt better, and was able to sleep after a whole day of gas and bloating. I should have taken this sooner!"

"For years I suffered with horrible gas pains. Someone suggested Gas-X. Tried it and in seconds the pain was gone. It was like a miracle. Just wish I had known how effective it was long ago. I keep boxes of it in both bathrooms."

"For many years, I have not been able to eat out at hardly any restaurant. In either 15 minutes or up to a few hours, depending on where I ate, I would get extremely nauseous and have a diarrhea attack. This happened after I got extreme swelling in my stomach and belly. I just discovered by accident that if I took Gas-X strips, I either did not get any symptoms or they were mild. I have been able to add a few good restaurants to the places I can eat (when before it was only at home). Eating at most fast-food restaurants is still a no-no due to MSG and similars. Taking them 20 minutes or so before eating produces the best results. My son found similar results for himself."

"Tired of waking up with gut pain and bloated abdomen. Finally tried simethicone to see if it would help. Next morning was the first morning in several months that I woke without pain and bloating (normal!). I wish I would have started using this product months ago!"

"I have many horrible experiences of gas, bloating, headache, vomiting - pure life of misery. All this happens if lunch or breakfast is 1/2 hour late. No doctor could relieve my misery. I walked into a pharmacy in pure desperation and picked up the first item that said gas relief. I took one before I left the pharmacy, and in minutes, I felt at ease. Why didn't I take this before? I'm happy I found it now. I took only my first two but will continue to use it."

"I have made major life changes, including frequent exercise and diet. Eating a lot of fruit and vegetables, which is causing me to pass a lot of gas a lot of the time. I've started taking Gas-X to keep from embarrassing my husband and myself. Works well for several hours."

"I’ve had the most excruciating pain in my upper stomach you can imagine. Pain that made me roll on the floor in near tears for hours. Not realizing it could be gas (as I’m pregnant), I was on the verge of going to the hospital. I tried Gas-X, thinking it could possibly be gas that I was suffering from. When I tell you I will never be without this for the rest of my pregnancy. Highly recommend it."

"For the past 4 years, I had what I thought were terrible menstrual cramps, but they were actually gas cramps caused by hormones. I take the soft gels the first couple of days of my period, and it works like a charm. The only issue is that the relief does not last that long."

"I was in extreme pain, and I have vasovagal syndrome, so I will pass out due to pain triggers (menstrual cycle, seeing blood, abdominal pain, childbirth, anxiety, etc.). I didn't know what else to do. I used a heating pad, a hot bath, the bicycle with my legs in the air thing, all the above. I was so nauseous and having hot flashes, feeling faint and could not toot AT ALL. And as SOON as I took the Gas-X, I'm talking MINUTES later I was completely fine!!!! Miracle MUST have. U ONLY NEED A FEW MINS TO GET THAT RELIEF. Doesn't have to be an everyday thing for it to work!"

"I honestly thought I had colon cancer or pancreatic cancer! Went to the M.D. and had an x-ray, and it turned out to be trapped gas! He recommended Gas-X. I took the Ultra Strength gels, and now I'm no longer Gassy Freddie Blassie!"

"It didn't work. I took it, waited like 10 minutes, nothing... still in pain. Took it yesterday and same thing, nothing... and I have extra strength. Took 2, chewed up, and nothing... in pain and disappointed."

"I’ve had an episode of the worst gas pain. My upper right and middle quadrants in my abdomen were hurting and very uncomfortable. I just recently had my gallbladder out, and it felt similar to a gallbladder attack. But, I took an extra strength chewable, and about 10-15 minutes later, I felt as good as new. It’s crazy how fast this works for that."

"I was having terrible stomach pains. Couldn’t fall asleep or get comfortable. Couldn’t even stand up straight. My girlfriend was tired of hearing me moan so she suggested I take Gas-X. After about 3-4 minutes, the pain started to break up and my bowels were able to move the gas build-up out in the form of a fantastic symphony of flatulence. Absolute bowel ringers for about an hour. Not only was it great relief, it was just a great time. Wonder if you can just take this product for fun? I don’t know. But if you have stomach or gas pains, this is the product."
