Wind relief for adults: Wind relief products typically focus on easing discomfort and promoting digestion. Common types include:

• Antacids: These neutralise stomach acid and can help relieve bloating and discomfort associated with wind. Products include Tums and Gaviscon.
• Anti-flatulent medications: These break down gas bubbles in the intestines, allowing them to be released more easily. Simethicone-based products like Wind-eze or WindSetlers are common options.
• Probiotics: While primarily for gut health, some probiotics can help balance gut bacteria and reduce gas production.

Wind relief for babies: Babies often experience wind discomfort due to their developing digestive system. Common products include:

• Simethicone drops: These work by breaking down gas bubbles, making them easier to pass. Examples include Infacol and Colief.
• Gripe water: This traditional remedy contains a combination of ingredients like fennel and chamomile, which may help soothe colic symptoms, including wind.
