It depends on your prevalence of acid reflux. I have no issues with that and can take peppermint whenever I want to. In fact. I used to take it after meals that were not settling well, when I felt grumbles. Then Heather explained it works best opening up in the intestines and that is accomplished on an empty stomach. Now I try to remember to take them before meals, such as eating out. I still take them when I have gurgles because they are better than immodium, which causes C, for me.

--------------------
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!
