Farma Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Thai pharmacies sell gripe water too. The ones where I live all stock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanny Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 (edited) OK, I'll show my ignorance here. What the hel-l is gripe water? I am not a young man, by any means, and I don't think I've ever heard of gripe water before. Edited February 18, 2007 by lanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farma Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 it's for babies. It settles their stomach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chan_inbangkok Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 It helps to get rid of the wind in baby tummy. When you ask for one a Thai person would say 'Guide water' That is how they pronounce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaidee1 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 My wife has a very strange habit, she rubs gripe water on our babies feet! Have tried telling her that it doesn't work if u rub it on her feet, but I think it is just superstition as her friend does the same thing. Anyone else heard of this?

Jared Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Yeah if its the stuff im thinking of, my wife and her mum would rub it around our boys belly and then on the bottom of his feet, I havent a clue why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkkexplorer Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 The stuff they wipe on babies feet and stomach is Maha hing as mentioned by another poster(violet in color). I don't think it's the same as gripe water which is colorless. One is for external use and the other to be consumed in small quantities. I got them both at pharmacies in Tesco.

johnnymoretti Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 We've been looking for this stuff as we just found out about it while searching for problems with our newborn straining and having excessive gas. When we found this on Thai Visa and it was available at Boots, my wife just left out the door to get it. I'll let you know if Boots in Bang Na Central has it or not and price and brand. Stay tuned... And...if it works or not for our baby. Love this site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymoretti Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 My wife found Woodward's Gripe Water (England) at P&F Pharmacy (3rd Floor) at Central Bang Na. Cost: 50baht for 148ml. Will let you know if it works for our baby....but not to say it won't work for yours!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 I swore by gripe water, you can hear it working as soon as it hits babies stomach. It dispenses the trapped air bubbled in their tummy & soon as baby will be farting like a trouper We also used a liquid bought from thailand to rub on babies belly when constipated, was Chinese herb, orange in colour & stunk. But worked every time. Asked hubby the name but he doesn't know, will ask his mum when he calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnymoretti Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 Well, we used it when our baby girl (one month old) was straining like she had gas again....and we mixed 2.5ml with about 2oz of breastmilk in a bottle and she drank it up. She doesn't strain like she did and her gas has subsided. With this I say it works...but time will tell after a few doses. We're happy so far. BTW: we have GasX for infants (a US product) on standby.
