I've used those. No noticeable effects at all other than warming my tummy and tasting candy cane flavour all day. I have read it works for some. The kind I have had ginger and licorice root in them, which are better than peppermint for me. It might work, but for me it felt like any other time I took ginger and licorice. Which is just a little less gassy. Maybe it contributes a bit to the effectiveness.

Eat them with something or you might get a bit of heart burn.

I've tried peppermint tea, but I hate the taste of it, mainly because I'm a little fussy, it's really not that bad. A nurse at my job also recommended the peppermint tablets, so try them out and let us know! Ginger is supposed to work well also.

Haven't tried the tablets, but peppermint organic tea helps me tremendously with IBS pain!

My opinion is that they are not potent enough to help IBS. I did a blood test to confirm whether I really had IBS or not and found out I didn't even have it. When the doctor doesn't have any prescription that helps, nothing over the counter helps, then the diagnosis is incorrect. And I'm talking too about getting more than 3 doctor's opinions. I hope u aren't on the toilet for hours suffering. Trust me, I know what it's like and it's not fun. I feel so bad for you.

I actually take a Peppermint Oil capsules made by Now brand that I get from a local health food store. It also has ginseng and fennel seed in it and does seem to help with uncomfortable gassiness, bloating, and is supposed to sooth the stomach and aid in digestion. I've been taking it for a year now. It's not a cure but does seem to help with some of my symptoms. I notice if I run out for more than a few days. It's pretty inexpensive. I pay $10 for a bottle of 90 and take about 2 a day, 12 hourse apart between meals. Anything that gives me even just a little relief is worth it!
