I have a question, for those who have GERD. I take Prevacid for it, and it works great, however when I take Heather's peppermint caps, about 3 hours later, all up and down my esopahgeous I feel like I swallowed a pack of doublemint gum, or a york pepperming patty, I feel a cool mint sensation.........it's not gross and I'm not burping it, it just have that feeling for a while, is this okay. Earlier I was having great difficulty with my attacks and last night I started one, Icannot figure out what triggered, I have been keeping a log, unless I'm not getting enought IF, I'm still leary since I have been doing so great without a lot of it. Anyway, after I ate, I could feel the girgling, so I immediately make some fennel tea, which by the way I can tolerate as you guys said, and laid down on the couch, did some praying and took a pepperming cap about an hour after the cramping started, I had the cramping for about and hour and a half, but they went away, I slept the rest of the night, I was so excited, I'm giving God and Heather's tea the credit!!! Anyway, I have been IBS attack free for 3 weeks now, I'm not counting last night!!! What about the pepperming caps and my GERD, I know you guys said to stop the pepperming tea, as I have, but will the pepperming in the caps hurt my IBS, I can tolerate the peppermint patty esophageous if I have to, wanted some opinions.............
