• Everyone’s biochemistry is a little different, so speed of gas relief may vary by person. But, in general, Gas-X relieves pressure, bloating, fullness and discomfort caused by excess stomach and intestinal gas in minutes. If you have prolonged discomfort, it’s best to consult with your doctor, just in case.
