I have taken probably 20 pepermint caps over the last 6 weeks or so and only twice did I have any problems. I am prone to acid reflux anyway. One two occasions after taking the peppermint caps I would kinda burp up peppermint and had a strong peppermint taste in my mouth for a few hours. My GUESS is that once in a while, for whatever reason they explode before getting where they are supposed to!
-------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....

After reading on this post about the positive effects of enteric peppermint, I ordered some of the product and began taking it 3 times a day, 30-45 minutes prior to eating. Miraculous!! No more urgency, cramps, etc. I am amazed. I also started the acacia this week and feel better than I have in 10 years. I can't thank all of you enough and especially thank Heather for her positive direction!!!

Thanks Bevrs, I was getting to the point wher I hated to go anywhere, and if I did, I had to scope out the bathrooms. If traveling, I always drove so that there would be no one else (in charge) of stopping for restroom breaks. I'm not totally out of the woods, but certainly feeling better. Next week I have to travel by plane across the country; I expect to have my first pleasant trip in a while if my good fortune continues!! Have a great one!!

I ordered a brand by the name of Pepogest and have had great luck with them. My spouse occasionally tells me that my breath smells like peppermint. Could be worse!! Seriously, I have never had any heartburn, indigestion, or any other problem with this brand. I found them on the internet. Good luck
