Hi, I'm not sure where to turn, I actually feel totally lost.
So I've been taking peppermint oil tablets since Monday and I've noticed that when I go to the toilet not only does it smell like peppermint but my bum stings a little. Is this normal until your body gets used to it? Plus the cramps are awful, something I didn't have until I started the meds.
Take it 1 hour before food.
I went to docs as I was burping all the time. I was taking lansoprazole for gasitis which was discovered during an endoscopy. The doc said I have IBS even though I didn't have any bowel changed. Doc said the peppermint oil tablets will help.
Have had H. Pylori and they also retested me recently and it was negative
No ulcers. Not sure on food intolerance or low digestive enzymes. Maybe another visit to docs and ask for more test.
Yes its normal, but I was the same I got cramps, are you on Apercap? They were a waste of time for me, For my IBSc my gp put me on Nortrytriptiline 30mg, Mebeverine & movicol, plus he put me on the fodmap diet, but when I get stressed nothing works! Hope things settle down for you!
All I've been given is the peppermint oil tablets. Doc just said it's IBS in what i'd class as a throw away comment. Like it's not life changing. I was given no advice not even a leaflet or signposted to where to get advice or support
I can only take Colpermin peppermint capsules as any other especially Apercap don’t work & cause burning in my throat.
What can i eat- confused
Thoroughly confused!
Confused is my symptoms from IBS or Crohns Disease?
My awful SIBO still sick 
Still Suffering.
