I am amazed at how Heather's peppermint caps have helped these last few months. That's fantastic! I don't look 6 mo. pregnant anymore! But, it seems like the "effectiveness" wears off, so I take a higher dose -- and it works again. How much is too much?
Also, sometimes (only occasionally) I feel it burning up my throat, as if it did not make it to lower GI. Can anyone address that?
Thanks!
Well, I don't know how much is to much, but make sure you take them on an empty stomach, inbetween meals. And try storing them in the freezer so they don't dissolve so fast. If that still doesn't work, you may have GERD like Linz suggested. I actually created GERD from so much peppermint tea and pills. I've managed to get rid of it totally from consistently taking probiotics and digestive enzymes, so I don't have a problem now with peppermint if I use it occasionally. Kandee
