How long have you been using the pills? My dad bought me some after reading how much they were supposed to help, but they ended up being a nightmare for me...they would cause minty-smelling (not so bad!), but terribly burning D for me. I tried only taking one a day, and at different times, with food, without food... but 30 minutes later, I was minty and burning with an attack. Peppermint tea, however, works wonders for me. I drink close to six or seven big cups a day, and I find it soothing and very effective.
Like many things with IBS, there are things some of us can handle that just makes others shudder in imagined pain. I would try using the tea instead, if the symptoms are causing more pain with the pills.
