First of all, congrats on the Equalactin. GREAT stuff!
The peppermint capsules are an anti-spasmodic, for cramping. It doesn't sound to me like the capsules are what you need for D alone. Do you have any Immodium?
I'm a D, and I take Lomotil for just the D, no cramps. (If I have cramps, then I take Hyoscyamine.) Of course, you have to have a prescription for either. I tried the peppermint caps, but they gave me terrible indigestion.
Have you considered a probiotic? I think they really helped me get my D under control. Several of us here take Jarro: Jarro (Click on "Jarrow-Dophilus EPS".)
