Going to be flying PDX-DFW-MSY with my dad, who's relatively young, but has a serious problem with in-flight bloating/gas.
I assume it's due to pressure... and traditional remedies such as Maalox don't offer much aid.
I've heard tell that this is actually a relatively common affliction for nonfrequent flyers... so I figured if anyone would have any remedies, it would be you guys.
Does Delta/TSA allow self-administration of nonprescription medication on their flights? Should inflight food/drinks be avoided (as if there'll be any)? etc
Thanks in advance
