					<description>Hi unfortunately I had to stop the enteric peppermint. Even with the coating it aggravated my acid reflux beyond what my medication for it could control. I think it was helping the IBS but could only take it for 3 days :( Two days off the peppermint and the reflux was back to normal and the irritation in my throat gone.

I hope others don't have bad acid reflux like me and so can give enteric coated peppermint a proper trial to see if it helps their IBS.</description>

					<description>I just started plain enteric peppermint today picked up for a health food store. If I am one of the 70% or so (depending on the study) who get some relief I will be buying it online by the case!!! 

BTW Vitacost has at least has the kind I bought Pepogest by Nature's Way as does several other places iherb.com, swansonsvitamins.com luckyvitamin.com vitaminshoppe.com mothernature.com Prices and shipping vary with most offering flat rate shipping.</description>

					<description>I have since stumbled upon the following article that describes a very well done research study on the effectiveness of enteric coated peppermint capsules. You will find it &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Essential-Oils-Shown-to-Alleviate-Sypmtoms-Of-Irritable-Bowel-Syndrome&#038;id=243233" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow"&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt;

Enteric-coated capsules that only contain peppermint oil are available at &lt;a href="http://hono.stores.yahoo.net/733739047274.html" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow"&gt;this source,&lt;/a&gt; which I haven't tried yet. I have tried the ones available at Heather's web site, &lt;a href="http://www.helpforibs.com/shop/suplmts/pmintcaps.asp" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow"&gt;Help for IBS&lt;/a&gt;. Although they are named "Peppermint Capsules," Heather's site sells capsules that have, in addition to peppermint, ginger and fennel. Both ginger and fennel are herbs known to be helpful in IBS. They just haven't been included in studies of the combined effectiveness of such capsules. I'd say, "Take your pick."

Has anyone tried either kind of capsule?</description>
