Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Peppermint caps and heartburn

Hi - this is definitely not supposed to happen!

If you can, try taking one cap on a totally empty stomach about 1 hour before you eat. See how you do. Then the next day try taking one right before or with a meal, and see how that compares. I'm starting to think that there is some individual variation here with heartburn and having the caps alone or with food. Personally, I take them either way and find them equally effective, and neither causes heartburn (but I'm not prone to reflux either). Since maryah has found that she doesn't get heartburn when taking them with food, try that. I'm hoping that with a bit of trial and error you'll find which way is tolerable for you. The caps should effective for IBS regardless, so don't worry about that.

Let me know how this goes...
