Gaviscon Advance & fodmap diet?

Anyone know if Liquid Gaviscon Advance is suitable for a low fod map diet? I was using the older Gaviscon (which was recommended here) but it's being phased out and being replaced with a new Advanced version, and I am struggling to see if it is Fodmap safe. Anyone know if it's better to go for ANISEED or PEPPERMINT? Thanks! (PS It has to be the liquid version, as the tablets don’t work as well for me.)

    I have been prescribed by my Doctor to take Peptac which is very similar to Gaviscon, I take the peppermint as aniseed doesn't agree with me. It can be bought at any pharmacy .

    you'll need to check the ingredients to see if there's fodmaps in it, and if they're ones you react to.
