Nope, no worries! Peppermint is a smooth muscle relaxant and pain killer. It will help with GI spasms, cramps, bloating, gas, and pain. It can help reduce/prevent both diarrhea and constipation that result from the IBS cramping, but it won't turn constipation to diarrhea or vice versa. If you take it when you're stable you'll just stay that way.
