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.

heathers tummy tamers is really helpful. especially if you have problems with gas or bloating. :) it really helped me alot.

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.

Immediately after taking these I always get reflux. Also, the seem to trigger the very symptoms I am taking them to avoid, as well.

So, they are not for everyone. Maybe people who don't have reflux get better results.

This product is not quite as strong as what I used previously but two are effective. I have traveled in Mexico, Vietnam, Argentina and spent two months in Afghanistan. whenever I felt that something was trying to take up residence in my intestines that I didn't want, I took a pepperment oil capsule. I never experienced any diarhea or vomiting in all my travels.

I don't have acid reflux and I don't know if I actually have IBS or know, but I would get occasional diarrhea and cramps in my intestines (usually two or three a month). I take one capsule each morning before breakfast and I can attest that since I started taking them about two months ago, I have not had an episode of either cramps or diarrhea. If I eat too soon after taking the capsule, I can sometimes taste the peppermint. But usually if I wait 40 minutes or more before eating, I don't get the taste of peppermint in my mouth. Supposedly the Enteric capsule allows it to pass through your stomach and then it dissolves in your intestines releasing the peppermint oil.

For only $21.95 for 180 tablets, it is worth it to give them a try.

I tried this during a few IBS outbursts and although it probably helped a bit, it was not miraculous. What truely helped was the acacia powder, sometimes I think it will make my IBS go away :)

I tried these BEFORE they were double enteric coated. They DO help to calm down IBS spasms BUT.....they seriously irritated my stomach and esophagus!! I also have acid reflux, so I think that is why. It was so bad I never used them again. In fact I would consider them dangerous to use if you have acid reflux as well as IBS. Like I said, I haven't tried the new ones so that might be different but be careful. Everything else Heather makes is wonderful and she has made a giant difference in the quality of my life. She knows more than my doctor! Follow her dietary guidelines and your IBS will turn around!
