There are over-the-counter remedies for gas, constipation and indigestion. GasX and Phazyme both contain simethicone, which help small gas bubbles coalesce into larger ones that are easier to pass.
Does simethicone cause constipation?
This medication can cause nausea, constipation, diarrhea, or headache. If these symptoms persist or become severe, notify your doctor. If your doctor has directed you to use this medication, remember that your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects.
Can Gas Drops help constipation?
As long as the stools are soft and not small, hard balls, this is nothing to worry about it. If your baby is passing hard stools, then you may give 1oz prune juice mixed with 1oz water. You may do this 1-2x/day for 2-3 days. You may also give over-the-counter simethicone drops to help with gas.
