Gas pain question

[sunshinegirl]

The pain I keep reading about....is it trapped gas or are you able to release it? (is it smelly, sorry) I know that there are pills available for this and gasX strips. If some of you took the pills were you able to crush them? I know that they are stronger than the strips.

This is the part I am not looking forward to.

I am taking Phazyme with me and it is a gel cap so will probably just disolve. Others have said that works much better for them than the gasx strips. Some people don't get the gas at all so I guess I will just have to wait and see.

I took the little phazyme gel caps and was able to take them right after surgery.

Would the gel caps dissolve in cold or warm water?

i took them yesterday with cold juice and i had no problem. I had really bad gas for the first 5 days and the gas x was doing nothing for me. I decided to try ti phazyme? and i felt better afterwards. when i asked Dr. Miranda, she said that if you take gel caps =, you wil have no problems wiht the band, however if the pills are not coated, then you should break them in half.

Usually the horrible gas pains are from the gas they pump into your abdomen for surgery. It has to be absorbed by the body not expelled. Theoretically, Gas X wouldn't help that type of gas, but some people swear by it, so that all confuses me. For me, it did nothing nor did the Phazyme. The gas I did end up expelling, was not smelly at all.
