Rennie Deflatine, Trapped Wind and Bloating Tablets, Fast and Effective Heartburn Relief and Indigestion Relief, Sugar Free Mint, 1 Pack of 36 Tablets

Product Information

Stress alters the rate of gastric emptying, either slowing it down or increasing it, which can lead to trapped wind and other IBS-related symptoms [3]. It works by gently dispersing the bubbles of gas that cause the embarrassing symptoms of trapped wind, such as bloating, gurgling and flatulence. Possibly the only disadvantage are the distinctive flavour which, for many, is quite unpalatable. If you can stomach the taste though, chew and swallow a teaspoon when you are feeling bloated.

Eat your meals in a calm environment, or at least take five deep breaths before you begin to eat. 3. Drink before or after your meals Breaking these bubbles down means they are more easily expelled or absorbed into the intestine. HOW DO YOU AVOID TRAPPED WIND?

Flatulence may be considered a humorous subject by some people but, for many, trapped wind can be distinctly unfunny and embarrassing, particularly for those who suffer severe and repeated bouts. It can be uncomfortable or painful, sometimes even being mistaken for appendicitis or gallstones. Each Rennie Deflatine* tablet contains 25mg of Simethicone, which helps break down the small bubbles of gas that can cause the bloated feeling and strange stomach noises associated with trapped wind.

Foods that are readily fermentable also lead to more trapped wind: these include vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage, as well as beans and grains. Of course, prevention is better than cure.
