Peppermint oil/fennel oil, are safe and extremely effective.
You can by peppermint soft gel capsules at a health food store, but I think they are overpriced, convenient though.
Buy the essential oils, the combination of the two is the most effective, though either one works. Put a few drops in some honey, or buy empty gelatin capsules and put a few drops of each in one of those.
Many people recommend peppermint tea.
Its not as effective though, as the peppermint needs to go directly to the colon for proper anti-inflammatory anti-gas effect.
The tea can also cause extra acidity to an already upset stomach.
If you're having a horrible day, charcoal capsules can come to the rescue, but they shouldn't be used often as they remove toxins
relieve gas but also remove important vitamins and minerals. Its great in an emergency though.
