Selador: This stuff does what it is supposed to. Relieves bloat and pressure, and all that pain!

One thing... A common misconception. These are not to keep you from farting. They are to MAKE you fart.

See, the problem arises when the gas in your insides turns into a jillion tiny bubbles. A foam. You can't pass foam! Or at least you can't TRUST passing foam. LOL

This breaks down the walls of all those tiny bubbles in your guts, and turns it into a passable form of gas. Relieves the bloat, the pressure and the pain.

Laura: I didn't really want to write this review because I can't admit to the world that, at tender times in my life, I have been afflicted by GAS...mostly at the hands of sugar-free candy, which is deceptively and repeatedly alluring to this T1 diabetic even though I know it DESTROYS my poor stomach. Or maybe a riotous stomach every now and then is just another one of stupid Old Age's cruel pranks? BUT, I also feel like I owe it to the world to let everyone know that this stuff works with no ill-side effects or need for caution.

So, instead of writing a review and admitting all of this to you, I decided to write y'all a limerick about a completely fictional woman:

There once was a woman aghast
That her digestive system went sometimes on blast.
She swallowed these pills, and they cured all her ills
And she was glad that the tootin' was past.

chinagirl: I am in my late 40's and I have been having an unbelievable amount of bloating and gas for the past several months and I recently learned that when our hormones are fluctuating wildly in the years before Menopause called PeriMenopause women suffer with increased water retention and gas and bloating.

I have tried several gas pills including chewables, Phazyme, Gas X and these generic Simethicone by Equate work the best and are more economical.

I also like that if I am already in bed, I can take these without worrying about exposing my teeth to sugar which occurs with the chewables.

wds937: This product does what it is supposed to do. It is basically the same thing you would get in the name brand--green, football-shaped softgels, containing 125 mg of simethicone each. Note that this product does not prevent gas; it merely helps keep the gas that does form from being trapped and causing discomfort.

If you are concerned about the packaging, I am not sure there is a way to tell which you will get. The picture shows the box that contains the cards where the individual softgels must be pushed through the foil backing. The product description doesn't specify what packaging is provided, but the product dimensions are three numbers (which would describe a box). On the store shelves, this packaging form has been replaced by a bottle containing the same number of softgels. What doesn't help is that both packaging forms have the same UPC. As this transition occurs, it will be likely that it will be less predictable which package form is sent when ordering online, at least for some time. As it is, I wanted the push-through cards, as they are convenient for taking a few softgels (not a whole bottle) along when traveling.
