Peppermint?

Well, I can't tolerate peppermint. I used to take Heather's peppermint caps, but started developing terrible indigestion from it and had to stop.

Also, I'm a D, and I had been up to the full max. dosage of Acacia (without realizing it) when I started having extreme gas, bloating and BIG D at the most inopportune times. As soon as I cut WAAAY back on the dosage of Acacia, all symptoms disappeared. You might try that -- just cut back a little on it -- and see how you do.

However, I wonder if there isn't something else going on. Are you under any kind of stress, perhaps even self-induced stress? Stressing over stress? (That's what I do -- I give myself anxiety over worrying about having an attack!)

Hope you're feeling better this morning.

Bev
