I Will Be Flying Tomorrow And Have One Concern. Whenever

default
Posted on Fri, 2 Nov 2018
Question: I will be flying tomorrow and have one concern. Whenever I fly I tend to get very gassy. I am sure it is due to the cabin pressure since when we start our descent to discomfit eases and is totally gone about an hour after we land. Is there anything I can do to ease the pain while flying? Maybe take something like GasX or some other OTC product that would help?

That is definitely worth a try

Detailed Answer:
Hi Dkurz,

Gas x is certainly worth a try. Alternatively, you could ask your doctor for a prescription for simethicone, which also helps bloating.

Hope this helps. Please write If you have further questions.
