I'm sure this subject has been way over done but I did a search and found everyone takes them differently what is the best for IBS-D? Before eating, during, after? I bottle says between meals does it matter? Thanks

I believe Heather recommends to take them 1 hour before meals. Hope this helps you!

Hi, teethcleaner! I hope you by any chance don't have GERD (gastric reflux), because if you do, the peppermint caps might not agree with you. They're absolutely fabulous for almost everybody other than us tiny minority with GERD.

I take mine after my meals. It works for me.

I take them right after meals too, otherwise I'd forget to take them inbetween. Works fine for me.

I take one in the AM with my SFS and if I need more I take it when I need it... sometimes with food and sometimes without..

I have GERD to a small degree, however, if I make sure to take the caps at least an hour before my meals, I have absolutely no problems at all.

Really?! Maybe I'll try again, if I didn't already throw them out.
