Isn't it the greatest? Once I realized how good it was, I never used my prescription (Bentyl) again... peppermint just works so much better. I usually take it as tea - the warmth makes it doubly soothing.
I'm not surprised your doctor didn't say anything about peppermint, though. It's a rare doctor I've come across who knows *anything* about herbal remedies, diet, or anything else that doesn't fall under the heading of conventional medicine.
