Hi there. I have the same embarrassing issue as you. Had both those drugs but neither worked for me. Try simeticone capsules over the counter as they help a bit. Trouble is more embarrassment as one brand called Wind Eze and the other Wind Settlers!

I have painful Trapped wind to that is my main culprit of ibs and a few food intolerances that make It worse!

Ie bread! Onions, garlic...

But i just take holland and barratts extra Strength peppermint oil Capsules.

Two a day, one before work and one when get home Plus a good probiotic and it more or less sorted it.

The mebervine never helped me

I used Buscopan - they take effect after 2 or 3 days. I now use Mebeverine which I find more helpful and as another member has mentioned Windaway charcoal tabs are good for trapped wind! good luck
