Re: Peppermint Caps       02/20/09 02:32 PM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA I use peppermint caps from time to time. They seem to provide some relief. Interestingly, peppermint oil is mentioned as a possibly effective antispasmodic in the January 2009 report released by the American College of Gastroenterology's task force on IBS. They say "Certain antispasmodics (hyoscine, cimetropium, pinaverium, and peppermint oil) may provide short-term relief of abdominal pain / discomfort in IBS (Grade 2C). Evidence for long-term efficacy is not available. Evidence for safety and tolerability is limited (Grade 2C)." -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
