Product Description

With 50% more enteric coating than the industry standard! Heather's Tummy Tamers ~ Peppermint Oil Caps (1 bottle, 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 bought these thinking what do I have to lose? Doing nothing wasn't helping, so I figured why not? Well, I am glad I did. They are a bit spendy, but worth every penny, if not more. I personally take them right before I eat, that seems to help me better. They calm your tummy down really well. And for those unforseen attacks, they work wonders, nipping it in the bud. I also take the Tummy Fiber which is another miracle supplement, and recommend buying her books as well. I went from having an attack nearly every day, to having just 1 or 2 a month. (I haven't got up to the recommended amount of fiber yet, so the attacks should become less when I do.) One more thing to note, Heather knows IBS personally, and is extremely supportive. Give them a try, you won't be sorry!

I've tried other forms of peppermint (tea and altoids) to calm my aggravated IBS. The peppermint tea didn't work and the altoids burned a hole in my stomach. Heather's product works great and doesn't irritate the stomach. I would recommend it to anyone suffering from IBS. It works better than many over-the counter or presciption cures.

This product has reduced my IBS symptoms to a certain extent, but has not eliminated all my discomfort. However I can say that it is probably one of the best peppermint oil products available.
