I have IBS and out of all the prescriptions I've been given to remedy the problem, pepogest works the best.

I have or had IBS and this product helped like nothing else. And I've tried so many things; herbs, prescriptions, fiber. Pepogest works wonders. I have no more uncomfortable symptoms. I'm even starting to forget that I even had the problem.

I was taking a stronger formula that contained oil of peppermint but it gave me reflux. Pepogest
is the perfect solution because I have no side effects, just a calm stomach. It just feels soothing
and my digestion has improved.

I could never find anything that would help my stomach until I found Pepogest. There were not any prescriptions that would help but since I have found this I am able to eat without the fear of being sick afterwards.

I was very VERY hopeful about this, as I too suffer from stomach symptoms. I've tried many things and nothing seemed to work.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but need to be honest about this.

The first thing I noticed about 20 minutes after taking it is there is a cooling sensation in your throat from the peppermint (not a problem) but then it left this weird unenjoyable peppermint taste in my mouth. After a while my throat felt like an icy/burn and I couldn't shake the smell and taste of this softgel.
So I grabbed a piece of cake that I felt would be strong enough to get rid of the taste. Didn't work.

I downed lots of water to maybe push the softgel down further just in case it was too high up. Didn't work.

As I was walking around I felt very nauseas and I ended up vomiting in the closest waste bin I could which was the one next to my desk. It was just coming and coming out. (TMI Sorry)
I actually feel a little better now since I probably vomited some of it out, even though the icy coolness is still in my throat and I can still the peppermint.

I'm disappointed, I really liked the idea that something pure as peppermint (one of my favorite flavors!) could actually help me with my annoying problems.

Obviously I am in the minority with my review, and I'm sure this may work for the majority. But I felt the need to write my experience after having such an uncomfortable reaction. I really hope others have better luck.

I have tried pretty much everything in the market for gas and acid reflux, and these peppermint oil capsules work better than most other a lot more expensive treatments in the market.

My Dr was completely surprised by this. He checked out a few things & gave it his approval!! (I have to take several other meds that may have interacted negatively with this)
I found that it works amazingly well.

I started taking this supplement on Tuesday. At first everything was great, then as the week progressed and I started taking the pills more my acid reflux began to act up. If you suffer from acid reflux, do not take it or ask your doctor before using the product. Trust me, it best to be safe and not take it. I been spitting up acid and dealing with brain fog when I started using this product.

I started taking this product in hopes that it would help me better control my IBS symptoms. I found it to be extremely helpful, soothing much of my digestive discomfort. I take three pills a day, between meals. I noticed a change within less than a week. I highly recommend trying this product, particularly if you have IBS. The information I read about peppermint oil did indicate that it should NOT be taken if you have heartburn or acid reflux problems as this product may actually worsen those symptoms.

Although a bit pricey (whether in store or online with shipping and handling), this is possibly the most convenient way to take peppermint. It does help with my digestions, but not monumentally. I have purchased some peppermint oil that I will add to green tea in the future or just continue to drink peppermint tea. Tea has the benefit of working on symptoms after they occur instead of contantly trying to anticipate them.
