Well, I finally bought a box of Gas-X, but now I am not sure when to take it?  I guess when I feel bloated and full, but not when I am gassy.  What will help w/the rumbling?

Exactly. Take it when you get that feeling. The feeling of trapped air is very similar to the feeling of eating a big meal. You can feel nauseas (or not), bloated and full. The rumbles could or could not be gas. It could be water rushing in your intestines which could be a sign that D is coming. I get the rumbles horribly when I am having a D attack. Gas movements for me kind of feel like a slight movement however is not continuous as rumbles are. I hope this helps you a little.

Are there any artificial sweeteners in that?  If not, I'll try it - Phazyme doesn't do squat for me.  Have you tried Heather's Tummy Tamers?  They're great - many uses.  Relax your gut for overnight or anytime.  You can use them for a pre-emptive strike before a high fat meal, etc.  I'm not sure they could do battle with someone's true triggers.  I'm sure they'll give different results for everyone, but I recommend them highly.

I take Gas-X when I am gassy (not just when I'm full and bloated).... it tames the toots and burps.  It works really well and fairly quickly for me.  Love it!  Although, I've never tried the chewables.  Let us know how it works.  If it doesn't seem too effective try the green (gel-like) pills.

I don't see any artifical sugars in it.
