I take this on & off. Sometimes I think it helps but at other times I'm not so sure. It is hard to pinpoint causes in changes of symptoms, but my impression is I still get gas with it but less of the painful griping type. I can only assume it adsorbs (apparently it adsorbs rather than absorbs) certain types of gases but not others. When I take it, I found that I need to take about 5 Bragg's tablets with a meal or two x 275mg capsules seems to be about the right dose for me and more pleasant to take (I have the Holland & Barrett ones)
