Abdominal bloating has multiple causes and so treatment depends on why you’re bloated. Over the counter antacids only work temporarily. Not a good idea to keep using them without having a diagnosis.
Not too many pills have been shown to help bloating. There is some data in favor of peppermint oil, e.g., IBgard. What works best for bloating is lowering carbohydrates in the diet. The Low FODMAP diet is an example of this and works well for bloating.
