[QUAD-L] Stomach & Gas Issues

2008-03-23 Thread Merrill Burghardt

I have used gas x or a similar over-the-counter medication for years. I remember a number of years ago I was belching and burping all the time. It seems to do the trick and it takes away stomach pain and the uncomfortable feeling of gas. At the time I was also given 30 mg daily Prevaci
