Anyone got any home remedies to deal with bloating? The pharmacists and health shops won't give me anything, they say ask your gastro. So I asked him and he says try something natural like peppermint tea or aloe vera. Now peppermint tea gives me heartburn, and I'm sure I found some research suggesting that aloe shouldn't be taken by IBD patients because it's an irritant. So any other ideas? Some foods do make it worse, so I cut as many of those out as I could identify, but even so on a good day I put on about an inch around my waist (I put on a belt in the morning to keep my trousers up and no longer need it in the afternoon, on a bad day I can't do my trousers up in the afternoon)
 
Believe it or not but I remember Dingbat told me this trick, I was up with bloat and pain and she says to drink hot water, hot as you can stand it and drink it,just water... it makes the bowels move. I have tried everything and nothing works better..GasX to me is a waste of money... for me anyways. Try it! Let me know if it works you have nothing to lose? Dont cost you nothing.
