Re: Peppermint Caps on empty stomach??       03/14/05 02:56 PM Edit Reply Quote lolakitty23 Reged: 03/06/05 Posts: 5 Hello, jessicas! It's preferable to take peppermint caps on an empty stomach because you want the capsule to get past the stomach and into the rest of the digestive tract. The peppermint helps to stabilize contractions in the tract, but can't work very well if it's released in the stomach, right? Also, peppermint causes acid reflux to flair up if there is too much in your stomach, so on an empty tummy, the capsule doesn't start getting digested so fast and passes into the rest of your tract. Absolutely BEST on an empty tummy! I hope this helped explain a little. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
