Thanks, Ken. I think I now understand why Altoids haven't helped me...I've only been eating (sucking) on one.
I will definitely try chewing more Altoids to see if that helps. (It's such a great option when I'm out and about and peppermint tea isn't an option.)
Thanks for your help,
Barb

yes, not to mention that they are very cheap. I hope it gives you some relief...

When I need them, I chew them two at a time until I feel better. This can mean I end up chewing 8 or 10 of them in a pretty short period of time, but I've never had a problem from this.

Altoids (and all other forms of peppermint) are smooth muscle relaxants, pain killers, help with nausea, and help with bloating. So they're good for just about every GI problem in the book except for heartburn/acid reflux, which they can worsen. They're terrific for IBS.
