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.

That is what I'm using now...

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

Have checked to see if your insurance will cover some of the cost. Medicare does.
