Heather, you said, " . . . enteric coated peppermint oil capsules . . . I've found them more effective than Donnatol (the anti-spasmodic I used to use . . . to such an extent that I don't even bother refilling my prescription any more." Is that right?!? The peppermint caps work BETTER THAN DONNATAL? WOW! Donnatal is my "emergency med" that I turn to when my cramps are at their worst! But peppermint caps work BETTER?

I'm amazed. Next cramp, I'm trying the caps, Girlfriend!

BTW, could the caps cause heartburn or indigestion? I recall something about this being discussed before, but I'm not sure it was the caps that was blamed. I stopped taking the caps just recently because I had developed indigestion -- which went away when I quit the stuff. Any advice?

Thanks,
Bev
