Have you tried Meberverine? Baby gripe water is also good.

I take activated charcoal capsules.

I tried various approaches (lifestyle, essential oils) which improved things for me.

They are outlined in this post:

Hi , i used to be in agony with night time Gas and the pains from it. I tried Meberverine but it didnt agree with me so i tried Windeeze tablets . I take two just before bed and it seems to be doing the trick. But i also had to cut onions out of my diet ......as well as peppers but reintroduced the peppers and take the windeeze and it seems to have done the trick .

I take digestive enzymes before large meals and a probiotic then buscopan when the pains are bad. Have not found anything that eliminates the gas or smell but does reduce bloating and pain

Have you tried the low fodmap diet?

Peppermint capsules and peppermint team were my best friends when it came to relieving gas issues. You fart like a trooper when you first take them as your body adjusts/ clears out but then they help. An extra mug of peppermint tea when you are going to bed also helps keep it at bay during the night.

Try the low FODMAP diet or the Fast Tract Diet

Maybe something here will help: sickofibs.com/ibs-symptoms/...

I find Gaia Herbs, Gas and Bloating caps works. It is a combination of charcoal and fennel.

Hi, I suffered with nighttime gas for years. I know it's exhausting. Then a couple of weeks ago I watched "Trust me I'm a doctor" on TV discussing pro-biotics. I bought some Kefir from Amazon and, for me, it's a miracle cure. Hope this helps you. All the best.

Thanks so much everyone for your replies. I will try some of your suggestions.

Kind Regards to All.
