Product Description
Now with 50% more enteric coating! Heather's Tummy Tamers™ ~ Peppermint Oil Caps (2 bottles, 90 caps per bottle) are an enteric-coated blend of peppermint, fennel, and ginger oils that soothe and relax the digestive tract. Peppermint, as part of the diet, helps relieve abdominal pain, diarrhea, and urgency from IBS. Menthol and methyl salicylate, the main active ingredients of peppermint, have calming effects on the stomach and intestinal tract. Although peppermint is such a powerful smooth muscle relaxant that it can trigger GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) or heartburn in people who are susceptible, because Heather's Tummy Tamers™ Peppermint Oil Caps are enteric coated they do not dissolve in the stomach. Instead, they pass through the digestive tract intact until they reach the intestines. For this reason, Heather's Tummy Tamers™ Peppermint Oil Caps are often very helpful for people with both reflux and IBS who cannot tolerate peppermint in other forms (such as teas or foods). Fennel, as part of the diet, helps regulate contractions of the small intestine and aids gas expulsion. Fennel also relaxes the gut, which can relieve spasms of the GI tract. As a result, fennel assists in the dietary management of IBS gas, bloating, and abdominal pain. Fennel is exceptionally beneficial for bloating and gas. Ginger contains powerful digestive enzymes, and is helpful for a wide variety of gastrointestinal ailments. Heather's Tummy Tamers™ Peppermint Oil Capsules are considered a medical food for the dietary management of IBS, and they are specially formulated to address global IBS symptoms through the synergistic effects of peppermint, fennel, and ginger oils. Heather's Tummy Tamers™ ~ Peppermint Oil Caps contain no sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, gluten, corn, milk or preservatives.

I think peppermint (whether in the form of these pills, or brewed tea) and fiber taken before meals has helped relieve my IBS symptoms, my problem is primarily bloating. I prefer the tea when it's an option, but it often isn't, so these pills are great.
 Not for me! June 30, 2008
I can't see how this product is enteric coated because if that were the case, the pill wouldn't open up until
it reached the lower part of the digestive system and it seems to start working in the upper digestive
system way too quickly. It gave me reflux.
I would have to say to be really careful if you have reflux and generally I don't, but I was feeling a burning sensation in my chest after one pill.
It also doesn't make a lot of sense to be taking this on an empty stomach. I would think if I had taken it
in the middle of a meal, it might have gone down with my food and arrived at it's destination as it should.
Trouble was I was scared to take another pill because of the burning in my chest. It took hours to go away
and made me wonder what Heather was thinking in the design of this product!

At first, I found that I got a little reflux, but I've got used to them now and they do help. I have tried all sorts of things over the years and these help with the gas and bloating better than anything else.
