Okay, not too long ago, someone posted about tasting peppermint and having heartburn problems after taking enteric peppermin caps. I now can't find the post (!), but I'm having the same problem and I can't work out why.

I've stopped taking my peppermint caps now because they were causing more problems than they were solving. But, they are suppoed to do you good, so I'd like to work out what the problem is so I can go back on them.

I was trying to take them on an empty stomach as this seems to be what the instructions suggest. However, this was a bit difficult as I eat every couple of hours atm. I found that sometimes I could taste the peppermint afterwards and then I got acid tummy and heartburn. It seemed to come on for sure if I had a big burp or (weirdly) sneezed! But surely the whole of the enteric capsules is that they don't dissolve until they get to your intestines?! I am so stumped.

Any ideas gratefully received! This is bugging me!
