Super - Also, be sure to increase your water intake (at least 6-8 8oz glasses a day). As for the gas, Ovol™ (simethicone - Gas X™) works. You don't need the most expensive brand, just any product called simethicone. You also don't need Diovol or any other product with extra ingrediaents. The simethicone breaks the surface tension on those nasty gas bubbles and forms one big bubble (the little bubbles don't get trapped as easily, causing the pain and bloating). Then the big bubble scoots out at one time (preferably, not in an elevator - yes, it can be controlled, as much as the smaller ones). The simethicone is relatively safe (recommended for gassy babies), and stays outside the body (ie. within your intestines).
Good luck - Cam
