Probably not beneficial       12/18/09 08:04 PM Edit Reply Quote Windchimes Reged: 09/05/09 Posts: 581 Loc: Northern California If you cannot take your peppermint capsule an hour or two before a meal so that it is out of your stomach and into your gut before food arrives, then I would suggest that you either sip peppermint tea or suck on hard peppermint candy after the meal. This would only apply if you do not have GERDS. I don't see that there would be any benefit from taking the peppermint capsules after a meal with no food following an hour or two later. If I understand correctly, the peppermint capsules calm the gut prior to the food arriving, avoiding some of the otherwise IBS symptoms after eating. Once the food has arrived in the gut, it's too late to condition things ahead of it. I could be wrong, so I defer the more absolute answer to this question to Heather who can provide more concrete information about using the peppermint capsules. -------------------- Senior female, IBS-D, presently stable thanks to Heather & Staff Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
