Simethicone

Has anybody have a reaction to Simethicone for gas?

I’m in a wave brought up by antibiotics, and Simethicone for gas, also a bad reaction to homeopathic remedy for constipation.

Thanks!

I take Simethicone 180mg after dinner every night after dinner to prevent gas from irritating my upper gut. I have a history of gastric ulcers. This has helped with pain. I am not aware of any side effects that would have an impact on withdrawal. I did research and found nothing. Hope this helps and that you feel better soon!

Thanks, Dana!

It’s hard to pinpoint what exactly has caused a wave IMO. It can also be the condition that caused one to be prescribed an antibiotic rather than the antibiotic itself that brings on a wave. Waves are sometimes delayed a week or so after a triggering event occurs, or that was my experience anyway.

Challis99,

Inwas prescribe the antibiotic because I caught a cold and had a fever and asthma. Due to my age and the asthma the doctor thought I should take it.

Demelza, my reaction to this is the same as Dana's. We have a similar ulcer history:

Sorry it's giving you trouble. It seems a pretty benign substance, but as my cardiologist says: "Any drug, any dosage, any time . . ." meaning what was good for you today might not be tomorrow. Ah, the wisdom of doctors, right? We could assemble their wise sayings in a very tiny book. 

 

Hope you feel better.

Hi Katz,

 

Your Cardiologist is right. We never know what effects we are going to have, even as benign as drug seems. I really did research it and found nothing on it affecting the CNS, not to say it can't, but I think we are pretty safe with this.

I also took an homeopathic remedy for the stomach problems caused by the antibiotics and that made me feel worse, chills, gas, nausea. The less medications the better.

The less medications the better.

 

I think you're right, Dem!
