I've linked the bloat thread for you until a health expert comes along. I'm afraid I don't know about US brands. I wouldn't use anything to treat your piggy until it has seen a vet who can recommend what to use. Gripe water can only treat mild bloat.

Some gripe water these days contains baking soda which can kill piggies, I wouldnt use anything personally without running it by a vet first, just to be safe. I'm not familiar with that brand so couldn't say if safe or not sorry. I hope your piggy is feeling better soon!
I would not use it. Bloat should be checked by a vet.

I am so grateful you informed me on that. I had no idea! Scary because the brand I bought after doing some research just now does have baking soda in it! I’m glad I waited. Thank you for the advice
