I received the peppermint caps and now I'm wondering if I should be taking them. I have severe bloating and constipation. I've been reading now that it may not be the best thing for these symptoms. Should I be sticking with fennel tea. I'm confused

Peppermint is best for spasms. But Heather's caps also contain fennel oil.
Take the caps AND the fenne tea.

I take the caps and the fennel tea, and I've seen some improvement for both bloating and pain. Not sure what's doing what, but the caps don't seem to have made things worse.

I tried peppermint caps b4. I got severe bloating as well. I also got other symtoms. Not everyone with IBS can handle them for some reason.

I took my first peppermint cap this morning and I don't believe this is going to work. The fennel tea is very good, but I'm wondering if I can return one of the bottles of peppermint caps since I've not opened it.

You only took one, how can you know it won't work? Try going into it with more positive attitude. It's true it might not work for you, but I think it's too soon to know just with taking one.
