Ask your GP if Mebeverine time release capsules would help you ease the cramping and wind
I use Buscopan and find they help. And they are over the counter so no trying endlesly to get a doctors appointment to prescribe them.
Get the GP to prescribe you Colofac (Mebeverine), it helps

Yes peppermint tea is good but not too much, it may be worth having a look at your diet
