5.0 out of 5 stars A bit pricey but wow!
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2021
Size: 48 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
I’ve had IBS-D since I was about 11. I have tried countless prescriptions, OTC products, special diets, et al. I’m 53 now and after covid and subsequent stressors I have been in dire straits to the point of lying in bed curled up when not in the bathroom. I lost my health insurance while not working and was desperately looking for something to help. I didn’t even want to eat, but being diabetic I had to to keep my blood sugar level.

I ran across this searching online. I did some serious research and decided it was worth a try, especially since it was returnable. Since I had never tried peppermint oil as a remedy I only took one to start. When I got up the next morning I had zero symptoms, and I’m not selling snake oil here. I have never been compensated for a review. I don’t even know how that works. And I hardly ever leave reviews.

I have taken one a day for the last ten days and have had ‘normal’ bms every day since, save one day when I felt so good for over a week I tried some ice cream. That caused a pretty minor glitch, but I didn’t take a second capsule just to see what would happen. I was back on track once the ice cream made it through my system. I have only tasted peppermint oil once, and it didn’t burn and only lasted for a few seconds.

Everyone is obviously different and I’m not a healthcare professional. I am someone who has searched for help with IBS most if my life. This product has been a true game-changer. If it stops working, or I need to take more to maintain results, or I experience any negative effects I will come back and update my review. Many people rely on them in their decision-making—myself included. I am stunned at the results I’ve had.

5.0 out of 5 stars Physician and IBS sufferer here
Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2016
Size: 48 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase
Physician with IBS-D here. My experience with this product has been very good. The next day after taking it for the first time I had my first normal BM in many, many months. I've found Heather's Tummy Tamers to work well also but these seem to have a better enteric coating on them. If taken on an empty stomach and with not too much water, I get no minty reflux at all. The price is more than Heather's, but I'll pay more to avoid the reflux. For those wondering about it, the reflux is because peppermint oil is a smooth muscle relaxant. That's how it works in the gut -- the gut wall is smooth muscle, and in IBS it is contracting too much or too forcefully or not in a patterned way. However, the gastroesophageal sphincter is also smooth muscle, and that is what prevents reflux. Relax it with peppermint and you get reflux. Enteric coatings work by not dissolving in an acidic environment -- like your stomach. However, if you dilute your stomach acid with food or beverage while the peppermint capsule is in there, then the coating will dissolve and you will get the reflux. Hence, take your enteric coated peppermint, whether this product or heather's, 30 minutes to an hour before eating, using enough water be sure you got it down and no more.

The "number needed to treat" for peppermint oil for IBS is very low -- around 2.5. That means for every 5 people treated with peppermint oil, 2 will experience benefit. That may sound like a not-so-good number, but actually in pharmacology that is a very good NNT. For comparison, the NNT for prescription antispasmodics like Bentyl and Levsin is in the 3-7 range, which is also quite good, but compare those numbers to something like Xifaxan which has an NNT of 11 and costs $900-1,800 per month and you begin to appreciate that peppermint oil is winner. And with a low cost and low side effect profile, it's almost impossible to beat from a cost/side effect/NNT combined perspective.

Give peppermint oil a try. Try Heather's first if you don't have any problems with reflux as Heather's is much cheaper. IBS is multifactorial. If peppermint oil doesn't help you, then gut hypermotility or dismotility is not your problem and you will need to try something else -- FODMAP diet, prebiotics, probiotics, and EXERCISE (that one is for everyone no matter what, of course). If it helps a little, you will need something else in addition to it. And for some lucky folks, this is all you will need.
