It can be embarrassing to deal with, but it’s common and most people will experience it at some point in their lives.
But don’t worry, we’re here to help you beat the bloat with a wide range of treatments from all the brands you’ll know and love.
What is the best medication for trapped wind?
There are a few different types of trapped wind medications, ranging from indigestion remedies to treatments that tackle the gas itself.
The best medication for you will depend on the cause of your wind.
If you have heartburn or indigestion with your bloating, you may benefit from antacids like those from Rennie or Andrews Salts, which use different active ingredients to ease your symptoms and treat the cause of your wind.
If you want a remedy designed for trapped wind itself, medications that contain simeticone are an ideal choice.
This active ingredient helps to make your gas easier to pass, helping it move through your system and relieving your discomfort.
Will wind remedies help with bloating?
Bloating is usually a symptom of trapped wind — all of the gas that’s built up in your digestive system takes up space, making your stomach appear swollen.
This can be worrying, with some patients complaining that they think they look pregnant when their bloating is particularly bad, but it will usually go back to normal in a short time.
By helping you pass gas through burping or breaking wind, medications can help relieve a bloated stomach.
