They are definitely for preventative use       02/27/09 01:51 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA The caps have to be taken on an empty stomach, and they need at least an hour to pass through your stomach and reach your intestines, where they'll dissolve. So, they are meant to relax the gut and head off attacks in the first place. If you are already on the verge of an attack or in the midst of one, use the Peppermint Tummy Tea instead. It will work immediately. So, use the caps (which are stronger) for prevention, use the tea (which works asap and on a full or empty stomach) for immediate help. - H -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
