Gas-X offers fast, effective relief from pressure, bloating and discomfort. Unlike antacids, it is specially formulated to relieve the symptoms of gas and rescue you from embarrassing situations. Gas-X contains the powerful anti-gas medicine. Everyone’s biochemistry is a little different, so speed of gas relief will vary by person. But in general, Gas-X works in minutes. If you have prolonged discomfort though, it’s best to consult with your doctor, just in case. Gas may be caused by foods high in indigestible fiber and complex carbohydrates such as beans, bran, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. They give bacteria more raw material to work with, and hence, cause more gas after consumption. Excess gas can also be caused by certain medical conditions, such as being lactose intolerant, or as a side effect of certain medications. Bloating is caused by the buildup of gas in your stomach, colon, or intestines. And these organs can stretch, so they’ll expand when they’re filled with too much air, causing you to feel overly full and uncomfortable. It’s not a fun scene.
