    I should point out that gripe water has changed to remove the alcohol content so its not as effective as it was when I was a kid !!

    still works ok and tastes similar.

    Gripe water was our miracle cure. There are some pharmacies in northern Ireland who deliver to ROI.

    I agree, I had a friend get it for me in Wales and I was able to cut out the Infacol drops altogether.

    Thanks for the replies. We are down to our last bottle and we can get it in Kildare but won't b up there for a couple of weeks, was hoping to find somewhere selling it nearer to Wexford.
    Gripe water is the business!!

    Hi, im in dublin so dont know about waterford but alot of the asian shops here seem to sell it (without alcohol obviously!) so if you have any of those types of shops in wexford im sure they would stock it too.

    Jackie Greens in Clonroache should have it.
    But as said it has no alcohol content anymore but it isnt the miracle cure it used to be years ago :)

    I found it better than Infacol, even though there seems to be nothing really in Gripe water.

    I have bottles of the Nursa Harvey's one.

    Ingredients are: Sodium Bicarbonate \BP, Dill oil, caraway oil BP, sucrose BP.
