HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Beano contains an enzyme from a natural source. It can be associated with abdominal cramping sensation.
If she is experiencing discomfort on using the medication then she may need to consider discontinuing it.
She may want to consider the use of reflux meds which are also helpful for bloating.
Some of these medications are pepcid, zantac, nexium, prevacid, prilosec
I hope this helps
