Sabrina,
I had a similar problem a number of years ago and a friend of mine (who also suffered with bloating and gas) suggested using activated charcoal. I think you can get it at the drug store or at health food stores. It has been a while since I tried it, so I can't remember how effective it was. However, my friend swore by it for bloating, etc.

> Since being on Effexor (about 2 months), I have been extremely bloated and flatulent. This is driving me insane. There is so much activity going on in my tummy I could start a new population group.

> My stomach is huge and I have lost all muscle control. I started milk thistle but stopped as it seemed to make my stomach distend even further.
>
> If I don't pass the gas, my stomach becomes crampy and I feel, well ... yuk! I haven't experienced any constipation problems and I have not changed my diet.

> All this needing to pass gas, almost every few minutes is really getting me down. Along with the size of my new bouncy ball stomach.

> What natural remedies could I use to help with this problem that is making me quite miserable? I would really appreciate any ideas.
