For IBS symptoms
Notice it doesn't really mix with cold water very well. It tends to get clumpy. Otherwise, it seems to help firm up loose stools, but I notice for myself, the dose can only be increased gradually, otherwise more bloating, etc. will occur. Overall though, a good product.

Heather says:
Hi Sue - thanks for your feedback! You are right, the acacia dissolves best in room temperature liquids, not very cold or very hot liquids. There is a trick though. If you dissolve the acacia first in just enough room temp liquid to get dissolved, you can then add the acacia liquid to hot or cold beverages.

And you are also right that you need to increase your dose gradually. That will get your gut used to more fiber (which is literally indigestible) without gas and bloating.

Best,
Heather

Heather says:
Hi there!

I am so glad that you are having such success with the peppermint tea! It is very helpful for pain, diarrhea, and urgency- and it is delicious!

I am sorry to hear that your order took longer than normal to arrive. We typically ship out an order the following business day, and orders in the US arrive usually in 2-5 business days. International orders take a bit longer, as they are sometimes held up in customs.

Again, my apologies for the delayed order- and I'm so happy that you are enjoying the Peppermint Tea.

Best regards,
Alieta

I love this tea, the best I've ever had and have tried several brands.
I would rate all your products 5 star. I've especially been helped by the IBS Audio Program 100 with Dr. Mahoney. With your products and diet I feel like a new person, I am hooked on the teas, the fiber and I've even lost weight which was a real bonus. Thanks for you support from you web site.

Heather says: Feedback Rating
Hi Mary - For the Tummy Fiber Acacia to work properly, it's crucial that you start with a low dose (1/2 teaspoon twice daily) and gradually increase to a dose high enough to resolve symptoms (which may be 4-5 tablespoons a day for constipation, likely less than that for diarrhea). If you get gas or bloating, that would mean you increased your dose too quickly. It can take several weeks to gradually increase up to the dose you'd likely need to resolve constipation, and unfortunately you can't rush this. Tummy Fiber won't work overnight.

Having the fiber at least twice a day - and you can have it more often - is also key, as you want to keep your gut filled with soluble fiber at all times. That will help prevent cramping and spasms in the first place.

Best,
Heather

Hi Donna - I'm so sorry to hear this. Are there specific ingredients you're trying to avoid? I can give you suggestions for recipes to work around that. In general, most of the chicken, pasta, breakfast, and quick bread recipes are all very mainstream and have regular, affordable grocery store ingredients. If you're looking for something other than that, please let me know.

If you get gas or bloating, that would mean you increased your dose too quickly. It can take several weeks to gradually increase up to the dose you'd likely need to resolve constipation, and unfortunately you can't rush this. Tummy Fiber is not a drug or a laxative so it won't work overnight.

I really feel for the constipation folks, as it takes some patience to start slowly, increase gradually, and eventually get your daily dose up high enough to resolve symptoms. A lower dose can't worsen constipation, but it won't resolve it, either. It sounds like you're on the right track with this, and it's a great sign that you are seeing improvements along the way.

Having the fiber at least twice a day - and you can have it more often - is also key, as you want to keep your gut filled with soluble fiber at all times. That will help prevent cramping and spasms in the first place.

It's also help to review the Five Constipation Frustrations here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/060705.html#askheather and, if you've been using laxatives, information on transitioning off them here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/06/082206.html#askheather

Tummy Fiber gave me my life back!
I suffered from IBS-D for the past 20 years. My stomach was so unpredictable that I stopped going out...to restaurants, movies, parks. I would venture out to stores as long as I knew where the bathrooms were, and would not eat until I was home. I started taking Heather's Tummy Fiber four years ago and it literally has given me back my life. I go out! To eat!! And to movies, on long car rides. Has it cured me 100%? No... I still have tummy issues, but not to the extent or frequency that I had in the past. I never, ever want to be without it!

Okay, I guess.
Dear Friends, I clicked inadvertently before I wrote my review, so all you got was an "Okay, I guess." My real review went something like this--and a little more: It's a little too early to tell, as the diarrhea is not under control yet, however I'm just on my first "Big Kahuna" kit. I have great hope because you have all the information I found--and much more--that is counter to what doctors told me over the decades I have had IBS, severe lactose intolerance, and diverticulitis. I have changed my diet, but I do have great hope. I just ordered my second pound container of acacia. I hope all this works as the medical profession has completely failed me, and the diarrhea and other symptoms rule my life. I'm grateful I have nothing life threatening, but my quality of life is still affected very negatively. I have been very impressed with your service, quality of your products, and the information in your books. Please don't post my village name in your reviews; it's a very small place. Thank you. Anne

Hi Anne - thank you so much for the amended review information. I've made those changes and you can see them on the website. Please let me know if anything doesn't look exactly as you wish.

Please keep gradually increasing your Tummy Fiber dose, and as you get up towards 10-15 grams per day (and quite likely even less) that should resolve the diarrhea. Let me know if you have any other questions or concerns whatsoever.

Best,
Heather

This book has become my fast friend! The recipes I've tried are great and I'm looking forward to trying more. The acacia fiber supplement I will never be without again...

I love this product & believe it is the best I have tried when trying to increase fiber. It is easy & portable! Wish it dissolved just a bit quicker... I put 1-2 packets in my 20oz water bottle, eventually it does & I wouldn't trade the convenience of the packets. I have the refillable container at home but this time when I re-order, I'm purchasing more of the packets because it is just easier to fill my water bottle with the packets...

The teas are great but cannot seem to get the pepp caps to work for me
I love the idea of these little caps but I do have regular issues with heartburn & these seem to make matters worse for me & I hate it because I don't have any issues with the peppermint tea. Love that as well as the fennel tea. My issues are with both C, D & urgency. Definitely painful stomach issues... it sort of felt like my intestines were always being twisted or tied up in a knot. Since I found Heather's products, things have improved significantly but I realize now that maintenance is the key. I have changed my diet, I drink Heather's tea's everyday but cannot seem to make these peppermint caps work for me... Do I need them? Maybe not but if it could possibly help with issues relating to urgency, I'm open to trying them. I have 3 unopened bottles & one that I have tried & tried to incorporate using all the available tips/tricks so as to not upset my issues with heartburn & reflux. Maybe I need to return them & just be satisfied with the fact that the daily teas, fiber & modifications to my diet have vastly improved my situation.

Hi Kim - it was nice to talk to you on the phone just now! It does sound like you are doing everything right for taking the pep caps when you're prone to heartburn. For some folks who have reflux, the concentrated peppermint oil is just too strong to be tolerable. Please do return all the caps you can't take, open and unopened bottles.

My apologies,

Natural Soluble Fiber
It may be easier to use fiber tablets, but they don't have as much fiber and are more expensive. The only drawbacks are mixing this into liquids (it's like making flour thickener for gravy, liquid into the powder or you get lumps) and having to measure it out. I suggested they include a measuring scoop with the canister. I just keep a small plastic measuring spoon inside.

Heather says:
Hi Cheryl - I'm so sorry to hear this. It would help to know what type of drug you're referring to, and if this is something temporary or ongoing. If it's an ongoing medication causing GI side effects, definitely ask your GI doc and also your pharmacist for other possible options. Sometimes it's actually the filler ingredients in drugs that cause IBS problems (lactose, for example) and simply switching brands can help. Sometimes different varieties of the same kind of drug (anti-depressants, for example) can cause wildly different GI side effects, and can actually be keyed to your specific IBS symptoms so they help instead of hurt.

For discussions a great resource is the IBS Message Board here http://www.helpforibs.com/messageboards/


That's the best place for feedback from lots of other users. Dietary changes and the IBS products should help you but if you are continually taking a drug causing IBS symptoms as side effects that may be an uphill battle.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Best,
Heather

Best Solution to IBS!!!
I haven't found a better product for helping me have less (almost eliminating) stomach aches than these peppermint pills! I've been on meds before and tried all sorts of things with no avail. Finally I tried these and within 1-2 weeks I could notice my stomach aches were disappearing. I only take one a day, an hour before lunch and it somehow magically has given me my life back! Thanks can't even describe what you've done for me! And thanks for making it affordable to keep doing!

I have battled diarrhea on and off for years. After numerous tests and scans Dr's have never officially diagnosed me with any specific cause. I discovered your website last fall after undergoing 3 cancer surgeries in one month. Having had my symptons under control for years with the use of probiotics, the heavy doses of antibiotics during those surgeries caused them to come roaring back. Again, Dr.s prescribed medications, did more tests but were unable to help me. After several months I discovered your website and read about prebiotics and how they can enhance the effectiveness of probiotics. My Gastro doc had never even heard of prebiotics. In two weeks after using your Acacia Powder, my diarrhea began to subside. Wonderful, informative website and a great product. Kudos to you!!

Hi, Donald!

I am so glad that you are enjoying the Fennel Tea. It does help soothe bloating and gas, and is especially delicious with honey!

You're right, it is not a "cure-all" as it is targeted specifically at bloating and gas.

We do offer an Acacia Senegal Tummy Fiber that helps with ALL symptoms of IBS. The Tummy Fiber is also prebiotic, meaning it will help to support the balance of good bacteria in your gut, because soluble fiber is their preferred food source. Tummy Fiber is better tolerated than other fiber sources and really does work the best for IBS based on the feedback from thousands of our customers. We also have a lot of customers who use the Tummy Fiber just as a fiber supplement and they don't have IBS at all. If folks with IBS can tolerate acacia senegal because it is so gentle, then it's a very safe bet everyone else will have luck with it too.

Tummy Fiber works very well for both diarrhea and constipation. It's pure soluble fiber, which means it absorbs water and this is the basis of the physical actions that help to address diarrhea and constipation. It helps people with diarrhea to have formed bowel movements by creating a gel and people with constipation to have softer and easier to pass stool by increasing the moisture content of their bowel movements. People often experience significant improvement within a couple weeks when they make the dietary and fiber changes at the same time; although, constipation does take longer to resolve than diarrhea because they have to work up to a higher maintenance dose.

I hope you find this information helpful!

I believe your products have saved me from an unnecessary hysterectomy!

Since I've been using those products I haven't had the gut-wrenching pain that had plagued me for sixteen years. I can't tell you what a relief it is. I hadn't been sure that the pain was from IBS, so I was going back and forth from my gastroenterologist to y gynecologist; I believe your products have saved me from an unnecessary hysterectomy!!

Heather says: Feedback Rating
Hi, Stephanie!

I am so sorry you are having trouble with the Peppermint Capsules.
I've included instructions below on ways to take them that will prevent the heartburn and belching that you are experiencing.

1) Take the peppermint capsules on an empty stomach an hour before the meal to allow them time to reach the intestines and dissolve before the food arrives. Taking them too close to meal time can be problematic for people with reflux.

2) The peppermint caps should not be taken during or after a meal because the food will block them from reaching the intestines and this could cause them to dissolve in the stomach.

3) Drinking only enough liquid to swallow the capsules seems to help them pass through without dissolving in the stomach. The enteric coating makes them resistant to stomach acid, but they are still water soluble. Limiting the amount of liquid they'll be floating around in will help them reach their destination.

4) You shouldn't take them at the same time as any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) designed to lower the stomach acid. Lowering the stomach acid makes the enteric coating less likely to work (remember it is resistant to high acid). For folks who need to take these medications, what we came up with is taking the peppermint caps about an hour before you take the acid lowering/blocking medication. This will give them a better chance of making it down to the intestines where they will dissolve and start to take effect without affecting the upper GI.

Of course if you are unable to take the peppermint oil capsules, please feel free to return them even if you have used part of the bottle. Just mail them to the address below my name with enough information so I can find you in our database. We will process a credit to your card and send you a confirmation email once the transaction has been completed.

It sounds like you're on the right track with the Acacia, for some people a really low starting dose is required. Here are some helpful instructions for getting started on the Acacia. It sounds like you're pretty sensitive to it, so you should use the acacia and increase with very small increases (about ¼ teaspoon added to your total daily dose) after several days on the same dose.

We recommend starting with ½ teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon). You can split the daily dose up as many time as you like throughout the day, just divide it by 2 or 3 depending on the frequency you prefer. Try to increase the dose every 4th day or so by a teaspoon (add this to the daily dose). If you get increased gas and bloating by jumping the dose up by a teaspoon, try cutting this in half. Some people with IBS are so sensitive they have to go up at ¼ teaspoons every 4th day. Keep stepping up the dose every 4th day or so until you find a dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea. Constipation is usually resolved with a daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea/loose stools usually resolves at a lower dose of 1-3 tablespoons/day. You shouldn't take more than 5 tbsp/day. The maintenance dose is different for each person depending on their specific symptoms. Dietary changes are often necessary to make lasting changes. In the beginning until you stabilize, it works best to take the acacia before each meal to minimize the effect of trigger foods in the meal and to calm the intestines before the food arrives.

I hope you find this information helpful. It sounds like you are on the right track, it's best to be patient and let your body adjust to the Acacia Fiber.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance!

Best regards,
Alieta

Heather says: Feedback Rating
Hi Terryan - I'm so sorry you are not having good results from the peppermint caps.

Peppermint is actually contraindicated for people with GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn. Many people with IBS often have these conditions, so we worked around it by enteric coating the peppermint oil capsules. This helps them to pass through the stomach without dissolving by making them resistant to the stomach acid. In fact, we use 50% more enteric coating than the industry standard because we found it helped people with these conditions to be able to use them to manage their IBS without aggravating their upper GI issues.

However, some people with severe GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn still have problems with the peppermint capsules because they will dissolve in the stomach before reaching the intestines. The antispasmodic effect you want to happen in your intestines will then occur in the stomach and this relaxes the sphincters at the top of the stomach. If this happens, it can lead to heartburn.

There are a few things we have found that help to prevent this from happening.

1) Take the peppermint capsules on an empty stomach an hour before the meal to allow them time to reach the intestines and dissolve before the food arrives. Taking them too close to meal time can be problematic for people with reflux. HOWEVER! There are some people (I'm actually one of them) who have problems with the caps when they wait the full hour before they eat. If you previously took the cap on an empty stomach, and waited an hour before eating, and still had problems, you might be one of those people. In that case, try taking a cap on an empty stomach just 5-10 minutes before eating, and see if that works better for you.

2) The peppermint caps should not be taken during or after a meal because the food will block them from reaching the intestines and this could cause them to dissolve in the stomach.

3) Drinking only enough liquid to swallow the capsules seems to help them pass through without dissolving in the stomach. The enteric coating makes them resistant to stomach acid, but they are still water soluble. Limiting the amount of liquid they'll be floating around in will help them reach their destination.


4) You shouldn't take them at the same time as any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) designed to lower the stomach acid. Lowering the stomach acid makes the enteric coating less likely to work (remember it is resistant to high acid). For folks who need to take these medications, what we came up with is taking the peppermint caps about an hour before you take the acid lowering/blocking medication. This will give them a better chance of making it down to the intestines where they will dissolve and start to take effect without affecting the upper GI.

If you are still unable to tolerate the caps, please return them to us (opened is fine) for a full refund.

You may be able to tolerate peppermint tea, which is not as strong as the concentrated oil in the peppermint caps. Or you may have to stick to soluble fiber foods and a soluble fiber supplement to help keep the spasms and cramps at bay. You could also try fennel tea, as that is an anti-spasmodic (though not as strong as peppermint) but it does not carry any risk of reflux.

My apologies,
Heather

Hi Becky!

I am so sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the Acacia Tummy Fiber.

Taking too much acacia too fast can cause increased gas and bloating. Acacia is one of the lowest gas-forming fibers out there and going slow makes the gas issue totally avoidable. Please be patient because this really does work.

We recommend starting with ½ teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon). Since this may even be too much for you, try perhaps 1/4teaspoon (measuring spoon) twice a day. You can split the daily dose up as many time as you like throughout the day, just divide it by 2 or 3 depending on the frequency you prefer. Try to increase the dose every 4th day or so by a teaspoon (add this to the daily dose)or even just 1/4 teaspoon if you are sensitive to it. If you get increased gas and bloating by jumping the dose up by a teaspoon, try cutting this in half. Some people with IBS are so sensitive they have to go up at ¼ teaspoons every 4th day. Keep stepping up the dose every 4th day or so until you find a dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea. Constipation is usually resolved with a daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea/loose stools usually resolves at a lower dose of 1-3 tablespoons/day. You shouldn't take more than 5 tbsp/day. The maintenance dose is different for each person depending on their specific symptoms. Dietary changes are often necessary to make lasting changes. In the beginning until you stabilize, it works best to take the acacia before each meal to minimize the effect of trigger foods in the meal and to calm the intestines before the food arrives.

If you decide the Acacia Tummy Fiber is not working for you, you can return it to us at 80 S. Washington St. Suite 304 Seattle, WA 98104. Include in the box enough information for us to find you in our system (Name and order ID if you have it). We will process a credit to your card once we receive your return.

Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

Best regards,
Alieta

Life Changing Fiber
Finding Heather's website was one of the best things that's ever happened to me. My IBS was getting to a point where I was nearly homebound. Everything I ate made me sick. I started taking an over the counter fiber, which helped a little, but the big warning on the label telling me I would probably choke to death kept me from taking the amount I needed and made me even more of a nervous wreck. I started taking Heather's acacia fiber when I saw that it didn't have choking properties. I got results almost immediately. Over time, I've been able to live much more normally (like most IBS sufferers, I haven't found a permanent solution yet). I can go out to eat more than five feet from my house, and I can take car trips (and even one plane trip) without suffering any problems. Although this isn't a magic powder that will solve IBS, it's the closest thing I've found.

Heather says:
Hi there,



Once you really start to understand what causes the IBS it will make a lot more sense. The 2 key strategies we recommend to get the constipation or diarrhea to stabilize involve dietary changes to address the triggers that are affecting the dysregulation of the nervous system in the gut that controls the motility (frequency – too slow or too fast) and soluble fiber (acacia is the most tolerable for IBS) to help address the consistency of the bowel movements. The dietary triggers are the same for both diarrhea and constipation IBS, the individual just responds differently by either slowing down or speeding up the motility. Removing the dietary triggers for a while will allow the gut nervous system to calm down and ease the dysregulation that affects the motility. Once it is calmed down, the frequency will begin to normalize and you can then carefully start bringing things back into the diet following all of the tips Heather talks about in her books to prevent IBS from getting irritated again. To get the best results you should tackle IBS with both approaches……diet for normal motility/frequency and acacia for normal consistency. The fennel (for gas/bloating) and the peppermint caps and teas (for pain associated with cramping and spasming) are to help you manage the associated symptoms that often come along with IBS. The peppermint is soothing and calming to the dysregulated and hypersensitive nervous system in the colon. They are designed to calm things down before the food gets there to prevent any trigger foods in the meal from causing a flare up of the IBS nervous system dysregulation. Soluble fiber also works like a cushion between your colon and these trigger foods to help minimize the effect and in turn minimize the chances of aggravating IBS.



Taking too much acacia too fast can cause increased gas and bloating. Acacia is one of the lowest gas-forming fibers out there and going slow makes the gas issue totally avoidable. Please be patient because this really does work.



We recommend starting with ½ teaspoon twice a day (daily dose of 1 teaspoon). You can split the daily dose up as many time as you like throughout the day, just divide it by 2 or 3 depending on the frequency you prefer. Try to increase the dose every 4th day or so by a teaspoon (add this to the daily dose). If you get increased gas and bloating by jumping the dose up by a teaspoon, try cutting this in half. Some people with IBS are so sensitive they have to go up at ¼ teaspoons every 4th day. Keep stepping up the dose every 4th day or so until you find a dose that resolves your constipation and/or diarrhea. Constipation is usually resolved with a daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day and diarrhea/loose stools usually resolves at a lower dose of 1-3 tablespoons/day. You shouldn’t take more than 5 tbsp/day. The maintenance dose is different for each person depending on their specific symptoms. Dietary changes are often necessary to make lasting changes. In the beginning until you stabilize, it works best to take the acacia before each meal to minimize the effect of trigger foods in the meal and to calm the intestines before the food arrives.



I would suggest reading both of Heather’s books so you can thoroughly understand all the ways to help stabilize IBS. The diet and soluble fiber will work more with the cause and help to stabilize you. Acacia helps people with diarrhea to have formed bowel movements and people with constipation to have softer and easier to pass bowel movements. People often experience significant improvement within a couple weeks when they make the dietary and fiber changes at the same time; although, constipation does take longer to resolve than diarrhea. It is not uncommon for constipation folks to increase the acacia very slowly because they are more likely to have trouble with painful gas and bloating. It can take 1-2 months to work up to the daily dose of 4-5 tablespoons/day sometimes. It will only make you miserable if you increase the dose too quickly. Important changes are taking place inside the colon as the body adjusts, so just be patient and let your body gently adjust to the acacia. Constipation folks will often need to continue to use whatever methods they were using previously to keep things moving until they are able to work up to the 4 tablespoons/day dose or so. Please don’t stop everything cold turkey and make yourself sick because this will take some time. The overwhelming feedback I hear from people is that once they reach this dose it is a magical experience and they are able to stop relying on the other medications etc they have always needed to have a normal movement at least once a day.



Peppermint is contraindicated for people with GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn. Many people with IBS often have these conditions, so we worked around it by enteric coating the peppermint oil capsules. This helps them to pass through the stomach without dissolving by making them resistant to the stomach acid. In fact, we doubled the enteric coating on our peppermint caps because we found it helped people with these conditions to be able to use them to manage their IBS without aggravating their upper GI issues.



However, some people with severe GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn still have problems with the peppermint capsules because they will dissolve in the stomach before reaching the intestines. The antispasmodic effect you want to happen in your intestines will then occur in the stomach and this relaxes the sphincters at the top of the stomach. If this happens, it can lead to heartburn.



There are a few things we have found that help to prevent this from happening:



1) Take the peppermint capsules on an empty stomach an hour before the meal to allow them time to reach the intestines and dissolve before the food arrives. Taking them too close to meal time can be problematic for people with reflux.



2) The peppermint caps should not be taken during or after a meal because the food will block them from reaching the intestines and this could cause them to dissolve in the stomach.



3) Drinking only enough liquid to swallow the capsules seems to help them pass through without dissolving in the stomach. The enteric coating makes them resistant to stomach acid, but they are still water soluble. Limiting the amount of liquid they’ll be floating around in will help them reach their destination.



4) You shouldn’t take them at the same time as any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) designed to lower the stomach acid. Lowering the stomach acid makes the enteric coating less likely to work (remember it is resistant to high acid). For folks who need to take these medications, what we came up with is taking the peppermint caps about an hour before you take the acid lowering/blocking medication. This will give them a better chance of making it down to the intestines where they will dissolve and start to take effect without affecting the upper GI.



On a related note, not being able to tolerate the enteric coated peppermint oil capsules because they are dissolving in the stomach and causing heartburn or peppermint burping might indicate low stomach acid. We learned to use enteric coated capsules as an informal way to assess whether the stomach acid was adequate. If the stomach acid is high enough, they should not dissolve until they reach the intestines where the acid is low. This means you shouldn’t burp up anything or have any upper GI complications at all. In naturopathic medicine, heartburn is often thought to be caused by low stomach acid which causes the undigested food to sit in the stomach too long and create pressure. It can also contribute to inadequately digested protein in the stomach. This can disrupt the digestive process downstream as well. If you followed the three tips I listed above and still experienced heartburn, you might want to follow up with a provider to test your stomach acid levels. A naturopath or nutritionist would probably be the best type of provider to address this for you.



Of course if you are unable to take the peppermint oil capsules, please feel free to return them even if you have used part of the bottle. Just mail them to the address below my name with enough information so I can find you in our database. We will process a credit to your card and send you a confirmation email once the transaction has been completed.

Hi Gina - thank you so much for your feedback. You may want to use the Tummy Fiber in the canister or bulk refill pouch for your daily at-home fiber. This is the exact same fiber that's in the travel packets, but much more economical packaging. The travel packs are great for carrying with you and when you're out and about, but for use at home they are going to be more expensive than the can or pouch.

Constipation does often require the higher end of the dose range, up to 5 tablespoons daily. Try to gradually increase your dose and see if that gives you better resolution.

Check the Getting Off Laxatives article here http://www.helpforibs.com/news/newsletter/06/082206.html#askheather for helpful info on that.

Hi there,

Peppermint is contraindicated for people with GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn. Many people with IBS often have these conditions, so we worked around it by enteric coating the peppermint oil capsules. This helps them to pass through the stomach without dissolving by making them resistant to the stomach acid. In fact, we use 50% more enteric coating than the industry standard because we found it helped people with these conditions to be able to use them to manage their IBS without aggravating their upper GI issues.

However, some people with severe GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn still have problems with the peppermint capsules because they will dissolve in the stomach before reaching the intestines. The antispasmodic effect you want to happen in your intestines will then occur in the stomach and this relaxes the sphincters at the top of the stomach. If this happens, it can lead to heartburn.

There are a few things we have found that help to prevent this from happening.

1) Take the peppermint capsules on an empty stomach an hour before the meal to allow them time to reach the intestines and dissolve before the food arrives. Taking them too close to meal time can be problematic for people with reflux. HOWEVER! There are some people (I'm actually one of them) who have problems with the caps when they wait the full hour before they eat. If you previously took the cap on an empty stomach, and waited an hour before eating, and still had problems, you might be one of those people. In that case, try taking a cap on an empty stomach just 5-10 minutes before eating, and see if that works better for you.

2) The peppermint caps should not be taken during or after a meal because the food will block them from reaching the intestines and this could cause them to dissolve in the stomach.

3) Drinking only enough liquid to swallow the capsules seems to help them pass through without dissolving in the stomach. The enteric coating makes them resistant to stomach acid, but they are still water soluble. Limiting the amount of liquid they’ll be floating around in will help them reach their destination.


4) You shouldn’t take them at the same time as any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) designed to lower the stomach acid. Lowering the stomach acid makes the enteric coating less likely to work (remember it is resistant to high acid). For folks who need to take these medications, what we came up with is taking the peppermint caps about an hour before you take the acid lowering/blocking medication. This will give them a better chance of making it down to the intestines where they will dissolve and start to take effect without affecting the upper GI.

On a related note, not being able to tolerate the enteric coated peppermint oil capsules because they are dissolving in the stomach and causing heartburn or peppermint burping might indicate low stomach acid. In naturopathic medicine, heartburn is often thought to be caused by low stomach acid which causes the undigested food to sit in the stomach too long and create pressure. It can also contribute to inadequately digested protein in the stomach. This can disrupt the digestive process downstream as well. If you followed the tips I listed above and still experienced heartburn, you might want to follow up with a provider to test your stomach acid levels. A naturopath or nutritionist would probably be the best type of provider to address this for you.

The other thing that can cause some people to have to difficulty using the peppermint oil capsules is a sensitivity to the natural compounds in peppermint such as salicylates. The peppermint oil is very concentrated and contains a higher amount of these natural compounds than you would consume in a cup of tea. People who have a sensitivity seem to experience burning in the intestines when they take the peppermint caps. It may come as a surprise because until the peppermint capsules, they’ve probably never noticed a sensitivity like this because they’ve honestly never consumed the compounds in this amount before.

Of course if you are unable to take the peppermint oil capsules, please feel free to return them even if you have used part of the bottle. Just mail them to the address below my name with enough information so I can find you in our database. We will process a credit to your card and send you a confirmation email once the transaction has been completed.

Love the bulk products.
I ordered bulk peppermint and fennel teas and the Acacia. It's economical and looks great in jars on the counter. I save the tea bags for traveling and going out for dinner. The peppermint tea is a habit, now. Nice!

Heather says:
Hi, Phyllis!

I am so glad that you are enjoying the Fennel Tea, and that it is easing your symptoms.

I am so sorry that you were less than satisfied with our customer service and speed of delivery. Was there a specific problem with either that I can help with? If so, I would like to resolve it if possible, so that you are more satisfied with future orders.

Please let me know if I can be of assistance!

Best regards,
Alieta
