<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Thanks for the responses, here are the replies I received: ---------------------------------------------------------- I've used it on occasion and it seems to help with the gas. ---------------------------------------------------------- Alka Seltzer Gold also has potassium, I think. I've had 3 allergists say it helps stop histamine reactions. I know it helps me in many cases of food allergies. I use regular Alka Seltzer if I have any pain (aspirin). Sometimes one works better than the other. I can tell now which one I need after using them so long. It sure wouldn't hurt to try. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I have multiple food sensitivities, & when I slip. I use the Alka Seltzer Gold. I don't know why, but for some reason it makes me feel great. Perhaps it's the poatassium? My GI doc says the active ingredient is simply baking soda. Go figure. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Did you go to this other excellent site too: http://forums.delphi.com/n/main.asp?webtagiliac&nav=messages Very caring and knowledgeable people to answer your questions. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for your help, Jennifer
