Just wanted to ask a couple of questions about Heathers Acacia powder and Peppermint capsules. I received then in the post yesterday and took my first lot this morning. My first question is should it feel like the peppermint is releasing before it reaches your stomach as on my way to work I could feel the peppermint freshness going all the way down my chest and when I kinda burped (sorry but want to give a true picture!) it was REAL pepperminty! I was concerned coz it says the capsules are good coz they don't spread until they get to your stomach. Ok question 2 is is it advisable to take a capsule and the powder one after the other before your meal (as in ur not supposed to spread them out or anything?) And most importantly even if I feel ok and are having no attacks coz Im eating perfectly so to speak should I just stay in a routine and take the acacia and capsules twice a day OR should you only take them when you feel a cramp coming or cant go to the loo??? Thx
You need to read Heather's notes on starting Acacia. Once you've got up to a good dose you should then take that dose EVERYday.
The peppermint caps can be taken everyday or as needed. And you can take the Acacia and caps together. They shouldn't feel minty on the way down tho - do you have GERDs? Some people with GERDs or gastritis can't take the capsules as they produce too much stomach acid and it can dissolve them before they get to where they are needed.
How do I find out what GERDS are I dont think so? it wasn't uncomfortable or anything and it hasnt made me feel ill, just was worried if they would still work if they had already disintegrateed on the way down!
