Gas and bloating

[Margot49]

I don't know I'd I am dealing with IBS, motility issue or SIBO.

I have horrible gas and bloating and have been eating very little and bland food.
I have been trying Gas-X and Pepto and drinking ginger and honey.
Friend suggested Beano.
Has anyone used this with any success?
I assume it is safe to try?

Thanks.  I have seen at  least 3 GI doctors.  The iPhone I see here has about given up on me as I have had problems with most medications.  He tells me to call Stanford like it is around the corner!!

I got the Beano but even the pharmacist said the Gas -X would probably be better to stick with.

I just feel horrible.

If this is a new problem, seeing a gastroenterologist might be your best bet.  

If you took antibiotics recently, then I'd suggest a prebiotic and Metamucil.  

Beano shouldn't hurt, but I think it only works if you are eating certain cruciferous veggies that cause gas for that reason.
