Re: They are definitely for preventative use       03/05/09 07:08 PM Edit Reply Quote Little Minnie Reged: 04/16/04 Posts: 4987 Loc: Minnesota From what Heather has said the reason for taking pep caps on an empty stomach is so they reach the intestines before the coating gets broken down. They work better that way and cause less heartburn. I don't get heartburn at all so I take them whenever I feel gurgly. To me it doesn't matter if they dissolve in my stomach. BUT the less liquid is in the stomach the better for taking them. I agree that there is very little time my stomach is truly empty; I may feel it is empty but it isn't. So if you take one an hour before lunch and an hour before dinner you can probably get through that time without eating. It is sort of a conundrum though since you don't want to go for very long without drinking. To really have little liquid in the gut when taking them you would have to stop drinking one and a half hours before meals, take the pills an hour before, and then resume drinking a half hour before the meal, resuming the fiber too. I don't have the answers; this is my guess. -------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
