What are peoples expereince of using peppermint oil to relieve ibs pain
It worked really well for me. But I do know it makes things worse for some people..
I did try peppermint tea but I can’t say I noticed any improvement in my stomach pain.and it gave me heartburn. I have GERD which is made worse by peppermint.
I haven't found peppermint oil very helpful, though do drink a lot of peppermint tea which seems to help. If the pain you're getting is a crampy pain, Buscopan is good for that, but there are so many different sorts of pain with IBS. Good luck!
Peppermint Oil capsules called Colpermin.
You can buy them from a chemist. If you find they help you can get them on prescription.
I find them helpful to take an hour before food.
They do prevent the food running straight through you.
Hope you find them helpful.
