I'd be glad to send them to you so you can give them a try! I hope they work for you. Just drop me an e-mail with your address and I'll send them on their way. Oh, and I hope your last 2 exams went well!

I'm so sorry the peppermint caps upset your reflux Does peppermint tea do the same...or just the caps? Hope you're having a super weekend!! *hugs* Ruchie -------------------- Formerly known as Ruchie Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Peppermint caps anyone? - Ruchie       #32990 - 12/21/03 08:57 AM Edit Reply Quote Kree Reged: 10/08/03 Posts: 3748 Loc: Northern NY Thanks, Ruchie! I just hate to see things go to waste. It's funny, peppermint tea doesn't bother me at all. Granted, I just drink Celestial Seasonings tea, not Heather's, so it doesn't have nearly as much peppermint oil in it. But I actually never even had problems with acid reflux before, the caps just really brought it on. Weird, huh? I guess I'm not the only one who's bothered by them, though. I am having a great weekend, and I hope you are too!

Never had reflux until I started on these pep caps, in fact didn't have it when I was on another brand. I'm going to take the 2 different brands and cut into to see just how thick the enteric coating is. That may be were the problem lays. Then I will also test the 2 on myself again and see if I can take one and not the other or is it just that they are both going against me now. I'll let everyone know.

I'm up to 2 T also, and also not having the results, just like you. Did you go up to 3 T and did it help? If not, what is your solution? Did you switch back or what dose Acacia finally worked? Thanks!

I do add Acacia to my baked goods, so I don't have an accurate count of how much I eat per day, but I seriously doubt it's much more. I add about 1 T to a bread or so, so if I'm only eating a piece, I'm sure the amount I'm getting is very little from baked goods. Don't know if that helps or not....

Did you ever try the 3 Tablespoons? How the heck did you find out that less was better for you? -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

How did you decide to go down so drastically? I'm confused. Maybe I should try dropping my dosage intead of trying to go higher. Are you a C or a D?
