Ok this may be slightly disgusting... I've been taking 2 peppermint caps daily for about a month, and they seem to help alot since I can't choke down anything but Fennel tea. Anyways, the other day when I pooped my stool was cool and minty feeling on my bum. Is this normal?

LOL! Totally normal. There was a long discussion sometime last year on "minty fresh poo!" Some people don't mind it, others decide it's too weird for them. It's completely up to you. But since they're helping...

I wonder if gas also comes out minty fresh? Be nice wouldn't it? Stop us all from getting paranoid in public!

Yes it does! Cara said her husband used to ask her to fart if they were driving past cow manure!

I have gastric reflux and can't take them! Guess I'll have to find another solution. Lucky I don't smell that much I guess.

I'm late in responding, but I had the minty poo and I thought it was GREAT! Beats the alternative.
