Not As Yet. Still looking into it...Seems like any manufacturer I get in contact with has no solutions. They just tell you to burp it...That to me is no solution.

Contact Hollister they have a built-in system to address bloating & gas!

Avoid carbonated beverages and asparagus. Call the company that makes your appliaces and ask if they have a bag with filers and filter covers ( they look like stickers). They usually will send you a few samples.

Keep a list of what you eat and figure out what foods are causing the gas then eliminate those foods.
