Fennel Seeds

Thanks so much to the person who recommended fennel seeds! I tried fennel seed tea because I thought it might work faster than the capsules and it has worked every morning I tried it for over a week now after drinking my two glasses of soy milk which usually give me terrible gas. The taste is great with about 3/4ths of a tsp. of agave syrup. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Angie

Baking soda often contains added components to enhance baking. Use Arm and Hammer brand and always read the contents
Naltrexone

Naltrexone helped me for gas/flatulence and I also less wanted to eat after taking it
I also suggest to take zeolite, bentonite, activated charcoal and multiple antiparasitic like turpentine and methylene blue
Rosemary Tea
Posted by Clj5775 (Canton, Ohio) on 06/21/2011
Recently Dr. Oz suggested we incorporate Rosemary Tea into our diets. He said it helped with bloating and gas, especially in older women. I have noticed as I have gotten older that everything seams to give me gas and bloating is also an issue. I am having a difficult time finding Rosemary as a tea and/or supplements locally.
Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Can't you make the tea with the Rosemary plant like you make Peppermint tea with the plant itself? Or even with the dried leaves?
Fenugreek

Fenugreek's leafy form belongs to the spinach family. However, its seeds are useful when cooking to combat the flatulence caused by certain foods, such as lentils and cauliflower. Its anti-viral properties mean it also helps against sore throat and mouth ulcers. Historically, fenugreek has been used to treat diabetes and is now thought to reduce blood pressure.

As a nursing mother, I take 12 pills of fenugreek a day to stimulate milk production. I still have rank gas. Fenugreek doesn't help me in the least bit.
Dietary Changes

I used to eat a high fiber,low fat diet (norm robillard's low carb approach). The gas started to build over several months resulting in terrible stomach pains after every evening meal. My cholesterol shot up as well. I decided to get rid of the high fiber breads and cereals. I don't eat dairy. After a few days, my gas decreased and I didn't need my aciphex for gerd anymore. When I cheat, I get gas and reflux. Also, my cholesterol dropped back to normal. My diet is vegetables, some protein, small amounts of fruit, some nuts. I walk almost everyday and use a recumbant bike on rainy days. Sugar in any form is the worst High carbs are sugar. Bread in any form makes my reflux worse. I can cheat but not everyday. I was able to take my bed off its blocks back to ground level and could also lay down after eating.

Tim,
I double checked. It is just plain corn syrup in the granola bars. Second ingredient. Thanks for digestive remedies! Z.

If you eat popcorn when you have gas, it will relieve the pain and make the gas go away.

For me it is the opposite, popcorn CAUSES gas.

Can we give this to one month old child. Did you make tea, as water is not allowed for newborns.
Rosemary Tea

Buy it from a supermarket in the herbs section. Males perfectly good tea. It is a bile stimulant and liver protector. For digestive purposes, I mix it with peppermint but in the mornings only as in the evenings it can be a little stimulating.
Ajwain Seeds

This refers to the Gas trouble that Shalese from Syracuse, Utah has. A pinch of Carom Seeds, few minutes after every meal. You can consume water but only after five minutes of taking the carom seeds this relieves you from Gas. It is also a good antibiotic. It cured me and I now suggest every one. I do take it regularly.
Baking Soda

Can these remedies help dispurse gas which builds up and causes me terrible pain. The latest pain in my left kidney is agony. Someone suggested baking soda & water to ease the gas out?

This is similar to the low-FODMAPs diet, which eliminates foods that cause digestive distress. Lots of info on it on the web.
