Gas/bloat relief, IBS

Abit TMI but hoping someone might have some helpful experience.
Wondering if anyone has found anything helpful for relieving gas/debloating? Peppermint does nothing for me and all the medicines I used before pregnancy for IBS are not safe to take.
I'm only 5 weeks so very nervous that it's going to be a long and painful 8 months and that's before the dreaded pregnancy constipation shows itself.

A couple of weeks ago I had horrible trapped wind - it bought me to tears. I took Wind-eze which are safe for pregnancy that relieved it enough
Also mine was on my side so I used a warm hot water bottle (not boiling) which also helped
