Something to help break wind instantly

Every morning I suffer with a bloated stomach which is bubbly and painful. The only thing that helps is to break wind which I am unable to do in the mornings. It does eventually clear itself but not until the late evening. I need something to help me break wind instantly. Can anybody help?

You can buy some stuff called Wind-Eze (Simethicone), take 1 or 2 an hour before bed and hopefully you'll decompress over night smile

Hi Benny,

Perhaps you should discover what is causing the gas in the first place.

The gurgly gut I used to have was caused by sugar in my diet being fermented in my bowel.

A better diet is the answer to starve the bugs that make gas.

Feeling of fermentation, bloating/wind and gurgly stomach could also be undiagnosed Coeliac disease....check out Coeliac Org UK website for more information on symptoms and diagnosis. Your GP should offer you a blood test for the condition before you start eliminating or adding anything to you diet - in order to get an accurate result. It is surprising how many people given a Negative result subsequently turn out to have it! Often they are sent away with a diagnosis of IBS....but they are supposed to have been tested for CD before this is given.....there are known to be hundreds of undiagnosed CD sufferers out there. It is a serious condition which will cause many health problems in the future if it remains undiagnosed - so persist!

Ginger (and in the form of a biscuit) can be very useful for wind - and a walk!
