I was woken up by extreme stomach and even back pain due to gas. I just drank the baking soda (1/2 teapoon) and water (1/2 cup) maybe 5 minutes ago and I already feel 75% better!!! Thank you sooooo much. I remember my grandfather drinking the mix every night when I was a child. Now I know why!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have a high pain tolerance but this pain from gas was unbearable. I took about 1.5 tsps baking soda in water and I am so much better. I now completely understand why people show up in the ER when they don't know the pain is caused by gas.

Bitters

Hi All: I'm from the island of Trinidad in the West Indies. Since I was a child, one of the standard remedies for alimentary disturbances - belly aches, gas etc. - has been a few dashes of Angostura bitters (AB) in a little cool water. AB is made only in Trinidad but is famous worldwide as a beverage taste enhancer. However, it was originally developed by a famous German doctor to treat his wartime patients for alimentary disturbances. Locally it is still used for same especially by "olden" folk. You can look it up yourself on the net. Regards

It is baking powder that has the aluminum in it, not baking soda! But even baking powders today are leaving it out.

Sodium Bicarb instantly took away the pain from bloating caused by gas.It really works. After trying several things and feeling so nauseous with pain, I finally tried taking 1 tsp of baking soda with hot water. Within minutes it took the pain away. It taste really awful, but works like magic.

I keep Peppermint oil in water near me at all times. Recently I was experiencing some severe flatulence. I reached for some peppermint water and took a swig and the gas immediately stopped. I found it extraordinarily effective. I recommend it!

I started to take charcoal after reading about it on here. It is wonderful for bloating and gas. Helps every time. I take 2 capsules. If I do not get enough relief I take 2 more 2 hours after first dose. Do not take with other meds or supplements. Thank you earth clinic!!
Gripe Water

Gripe Water was immediate relief for chronic belching/gas. I saw that reference in your 'remedies'. I put three droppers' full into any beverage after I've eaten anything. Thank you to the person(s) who recommended this. I found it in Walgreen's baby aisle.
Anise Seeds
Posted by Elaine (Valencia, Ca) on 01/16/2018
While I have no direct experience with anise seeds for gas or anything else, it is never a good idea to give any remedy to a one month old without first obtaining permission from a competent pediatrician. Many things that pose no problems for adults could be dangerous when ingested by an infant.
Oregano Oil

Hi, I'd like to add Oil of Oregano as an amazing remedy for smelly gas. I had tried everything - digestive enzymes, probiotics, betaine (HCL acid), garlic and nothing really worked that well. Or they worked for a while but then stopped working. Now I take a capsule of oil of oregano twice a day with meals. More if I eat a dessert. I've been doing this for over a year and I now rarely have gas. It's truly amazing. But, it may not work on its own - you may need other supplements/diet changes.

For GAS the best thing is to buy CHARCOAL PILLS ..they have coated (pink) and uncoted (black) its not medicine..its staright powder charcoal. take 2 at once. It absorbs toxins in your body ..like gas... they give it to poeple(in higher dose) when they overdose on drugs.
its perfectly safe...but checking with doctor is always good idea...every person is different.
{!!!} ONLY WARNING: if you are taking medicine for something...wait an hour before taking the charcoal...it will absorb ALL Toxins, that includes medicine you have taken.
I WISH YOU THE BEST!!!

I tried a couple teaspoons of baking soda mixed in about one-half to three-quarters cup of water to relieve debilitating gas pains. Within about five minutes, the relief was setting in. After about 15 minutes, the gas pains were gone. It did cause me to expel some gas, too, which I was unable to do beforehand.

Bitters

RE: Cure Gas Fast Angostura bitters remedy... I'm a night club dj. On several occasions I've gotten terrible stomach pain just before a gig at a bar. When I say terrible stomach pain, I mean eye watering, agonizing pain that comes in waves. Sometimes it feels like my stomach is in a knot and other times like it's being ripped apart. I've asked bartenders what I should drink. A few have suggested bitters. I'm not sure if this is the same as Angostura bitters, but it's the only thing I remember working. Generally after drinking something with bitters, my pain goes away in an hour or so. Without the bitters, I'm in pain all night and sometimes for a day or two after.

I had such terrible gas for 2 weeks straight I couldn't stand myself. I finally humbled myself and asked my midwife what to do and she said to take acidophilous. It worked awesome.
