Hi. My doc gave me some peppermint oil capsules. I suffer heaps with trapped gas and whereas it doesn't get rid of all of it, it definately helps :)

Windeeze tablets from the chemist

I use Gas-X (otc med) and chewing fennel seeds really helps me. Mint tea, mint cough drops and the exercises my PT gave me for constipation help expel a lot.

peppermint tea and try golden linseed in your daily diet, you will need to sprinkle it on to cereal or yoghurt as goes down easier but does help keep your bowel regular and offers some relief from the gas and bloating, plus its free from lactose and gluten both big causes of excess gas.
