I haven't had D episodes for quite awhile, but in this past heat wave I started getting them again. I switched to the bland diet, took 3 immodium the first day, started drinking peppermint tea, and I didn't have a movement for 2 days. When I did go it was watery again. So I did the same routine and it subsided for 2 days and now it's back. The peppermint oil capsules are giving me heartburn, even tho I take them as directed (empty stomach, 1 hour before meals, small amount of water). Anybody else have episodes like this? I'd love to have a formed stool again!

Regarding the peppermint capsules - you may want to consult with your doctor about this if they give you heartburn - they should be the enteric coated ones if you got them here - the tea may be a better way for you.
Also, if you have not had D for quite a while, and the heat, etc. has triggered it, you may want to consider the fact that it 'might' not be 'IBS' - everyone gets digestive upsets from time to time, whether from a bug, worry, the heat, etc. - and what may have happened is that this 'routine' digestive event, then in fact triggered your IBS. This happens to some people, and if you can just be aware that this is an isolated thing, perhaps things will get back on track for you - especially with the hypno guiding you gently... just a thought!
