    Robert: Since my January post I tried another method that works much better. Whenever I have a flareup I have to take 60 mg Mestinon every 6 hours. I asked a CVS pharmacist if there was any over-the-counter medicine that would relieve gas and bloating. She recommended Gas-X (or any med that is made of Simethicone). The maximum recommended daily amount of Simethicone is 500 mg. So I bought the 125 mg chewable version (which doesn’t taste bad at all) and take one each time I take a Mestinon. It made a big difference for me. Good luck!
