Help for bloat! 😨
Ladies any recommendations on what I can take for chemo bloat? Ohhhfff it's so uncomfortable!
Eating slower and less and all that kind of stuff but is there a certain med I can take? Even something holistic.
I've had a couple of De-gas today. Bit better but not amazing

- Lay on your back and cuddle your knees. Out it comes!
- Mintec is still available and are very effective
- I was also going to suggest peppermint water.
You can buy a peppermint cordial and use that
Mixing a 50/50 mix of dileted cordial and gaviscon or mylanta can work quite well and chemists used to sell capsules called Mintec, I think it was. Not sure if it's still available
Last suggestion.... old fashoined Enos or Salvital, whaatever along those lines that you can get - Hi @Nix
I have had bloating issues even prior to chemo. I used to take diluted ginger and honey. I grate some ginger, add hot water to it then strain. I would then add more water and honey to the strained mixture in order to dilute it further as ginger can be quite strong. I would then take small sips of this mixture.
The oncologist suggested taking gaviscon.Hope this helps. - Will do thanks @June1952 💕
- Big issue for me when in hospital - the nurses always make me have peppermint water. This goes way back 30+ years as well so it must be a good old-fashioned remedy. Until you get some, try the old 'XXX peppermints' from the supermarket.
