I have the same gas issues because of my IBS, and I asked my gasteroenterologist about gas medications. She said the ones with simethicone help in the sense that they cause the gas to aggregate together so it's easier to pass--essentially just making bigger farts or burps :P And unfortunately, there's nothing to take that will make gas just go away, other than trying to avoid things that you know will cause it.
I'm supposed to be taking Prilosec, but I'm bad at remembering to take it constantly, so I'm not sure if it gives me the same problems. I rarely get heartburn, but I have pressure around my diaphragm and trouble swallowing, which they said could be reflux.
