Just wondering if anybody has thought to try this instead of/in addition to Gas-X.
I remember when both my kiddos were babies and suffered from gas, this stuff was my saving grace. It's a homeopathic combination of fennel, ginger, bicarbonate soda (baking soda), etc.
Here are the ingredients from the
website:
- Deionized Water
- Vegetable Glycerin
- Sodium Bicarbonate (15 mg)
- Organic Ginger Extract (5mg)
- Organic Fennel Extract (4 mg)
- Fructose
- Citrus Bioflavonoid Extract
- Citric Acid
- Grapefruit Seed Extract
I used to be able to only find the stuff at Whole Foods, but it seems to have gone more generic and you can get it at drugstore.com, Walgreens, Babies R Us now.
Seriously, *nothing* used to help my first daughter who had reflux as a baby and would just scream and cry with horrible gas pains as a newborn. We'd give her this, and she'd let out a burp like a truckdriver, then be happy as a swaddled clam. I thought it was a fluke, but it worked with the second kiddo, too. Though this one burped -- and continues to -- like a longshoreman.
I'm thinking that this might be handy to have in the cabinet post surgery....
