Peppermint for IBS: Does it work?

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?

I like giving myself a stomach massage with essential oils. I use peppermint, olive oil and castor oil. Works yo get things moving and relax and calms my colon

Hey there! I have no idea how much peppermint to take, but I wanted to mention I was diagnosed with IBS-C years ago. It turns out mine was being caused by endometriosis. If your cramps are worse at certain times of the month (between periods), it might be something to look into?

I’ve just had the opposite experience! Had laparoscopic surgery yesterday to diagnose endometriosis but they couldn’t find any, so now thinking I have IBS. I’m very confused😂
