Thanks Lazarus! Enteric coated peppermint capsules have several clinical studies supporting their effectiveness for IBS. There's even been a study using the capsules in children. They are very, very safe and can be taken by most people daily on a long term basis.
Because they're enteric coated, they don't dissolve in the stomach, which means they are unlikely to cause problems with reflux or heartburn the way other forms of mint can.
Here are some of the published medical journal articles:

You can check your local health food store or drug store for them, too.
Best,
Heather

I am very interested in your use of Pepogest. If I may ask what were your trigger foods and can you eat them now? Or does it just make life a little easier to not have constant symptoms? Thanks for the help.

Thanks Lazarus! What, may I ask, were your symptoms before? How have they changed? Did you have C BMs or D BMs? Thanks a bunch for your help!! Glad to hear you're feeling better.
