I have just gotten some of the Peppermint capsules and have been taking them as directed, 3x times a day on an empty stomach, etc. I also am aware of the sticky link from Heather for the caps. 
I have no burping, heartburn or any other issues.
BUT, the last 2 days after the third pill, and then the next day after the second pill I have a strong Peppermint aftertaste. Is this normal at all??
thanks,
rick

Yes.
Ah fresh breath aint so bad!
One time I had food poisoning and thought it was just going to be mild D. I took 2 pep caps and laid down. Then I started puking and it all tasted like peppermint. Could be worse!
Another side effect of pep caps is minty farts. They kind of feel cool on the way out.

Try taking them before a meal anyhow and see how you react. It may not be a problem. The way I understand it, taking them on an empty stomach is more for people with a reaction to them.

I tell folks to start with one a day, as that might be enough. Then try 2 if you need to, and then you can try 3.
Best,
