The enteric coating breaks down with water -- so you need to take them with just enough *cool* water to swallow them. No hot or warm drinks either. Otherwise they won't end up in your digestive tract -- they will break down in your stomach and you will burp peppermint.

It also works better if you do take them on an empty stomach about an hour before eating. I think she said some people take them right before they eat... but it has always worked better for me when I wait.
