Does anyone have long term experience of taking peppermint oil capsules

Hi, I don't have any long term experience of taking peppermint oil capsules but I was prescribed them a couple of weeks ago for the first time. I had previously been taking mebeverine but didn't find it that helpful. I was still experiencing extreme bloating/discomfort and suffering constipation. The first couple of days with the peppermint capsules were amazing. No bloating, toilet habits normal. But then, on the third day I began to feel bloated and over the following days became constipated. I have persevered with the peppermint oil capsules but my body seems to have stopped responding to them and I now feel they are as useless as mebeverine was for me. I don't understand why they worked the first few times and then I got a flare up. So, no, no experience of long term use, but I thought I'd share my experience anyway!

Think I have tried everything and had most IBS symptoms. Don't use this daily only for av few weeks after a flare up.
