I've been using the acacia and peppermint caps since december. And trying -trying to adjust my eating habits. Its been an real roller coaster. I agree that the peppermint pills will aggravate your acid reflux (I burp a cooling sensation sometimes, but not enough to bother me), but you might want to try the peppermint tea, or maybe an altoid after meals, just to test it. The acacia works very well for me. I started out small, and now take 1 TBS 2 times a day.When I ran out, I took some metamucil. Way stupid!!! I also take 2 beano with lunch and dinner, which works well. I also chew up 2 altoids after meals and drink the peppermint tea occasionally.(breakfast is the only meal I'm not afraid of). I've completely eliminated all dairy from my diet. Fortunately I can substitute soy so its not so bad. I do really miss cheese though! Soy cheese is - awful! I pretty much follow heathers suggestions in the books, but I don't eat meat, so I've bought vegan cookbooks and so far its been a success. When I follow the guidelines, and use the supplements, all is well. But I regularly make stupid choices, and pay for it. My children are grown, so I only have to feed my husband. He still eats chicken and pork-but has stopped eating red meat and most dairy with me!!! My advice, try the acacia, try beano, maybe think about trying peppermint tea. I'm on day 11 with no issues. this is the longest I've gone in 35 years!!
