Treatments can also cause bloating as a side effect of certain drugs.


Antacids

This type of medication can help with bloating caused by food. It allows gas to pass more easily through your digestive tract.


Over-the-counter medicine

  • Simethicone helps you pass gas bubbles trapped in your intestines.

  • Alpha-galactosidase breaks down the carbohydrates in vegetables and beans.

  • Activated charcoal may reduce gas symptoms, but research hasn't shown a clear benefit. It could interfere with other medications, so check with your doctor before taking it.


Please prefer doctor for more severe symptoms.
