I’ve heard about peppermint for ibs. I’m having a lot of cramps, but really don’t like the prescription anti spasm meds, they make me feel loopy. I’m new to having ibs-c so I really don’t know anything. How much does peppermint work and how do you take it?

Peppermint oil capsules, such as enteric-coated ones, can help with IBS symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, gut cramps, and nausea. Make sure they are enteric-coated to avoid making acid reflux worse. Some over-the-counter products like IB Guard and Tammy's Tummy Tamers are peppermint oil-based and can help soothe the stomach.
