Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: More peppermint oil/PLUS..

Peppermint doesn't slow me, just relaxes and opens up. I read your posts;Sounds like you have more die off than some still;The slow building up of acacia causing you intolerable gas even though slower ferments generally, but more by the "good" bacteria than other PREbiotics;So maybe help prevent excessive gas with the peppermint caps before it while you slowly build it. Especially if the soluble food ratio (more gassy than acacia) intake isn't enough to help regulate your BMs alone. Takes so much of the guesswork out of food intake. I also take silicone to absorb excess gas only very occasionally..all while building up slowly probiotic and less transient good bacterias in non-dairy kefir that also includes S. boulardi yeast that I culture (Body Ecology starter) that can cause gas if built up too fast. I like good absorption Magnesium glycinate/lycinate chelated by Doctor's Best, less zipping like oxide or citrate forms for me;but, since it is generally suggested for max. absorption and proper balance, Try 1:1 ratio of calcium only to mag. for you? Too much protein or enriched alt. milks can cause constipation. Eating or drinking too much too fast or delayed can cause me gas, a fine line balancing act. Lessening stress is a big factor. These are just some of the things I've observed. Didn't sound like you don't go at least once/day?
