I think it's probably something else. I keep forgetting - how long have you been following the IBS diet strictly? I know that for the first month (no cheats!), I had bloating/gas like *crazy* - and I NEVER bloat. NEVER. It was just an adjustment to the diet change, and it did go away eventually. As for the cramping... the whole point of peppermint is that it's an antispasmodic, so I'm guessing it's not going to make your cramping worse. The only thing I've noticed with peppermint is heartburn.
