On the funny side.....

I myself know ibs can be the most debilating condition but I definitely need to share a little funny thing that just happened to cheer us all up through these difficult times. I regularly take peppermint capsules for my ibs. I just broke wind and it smelt exactly like the peppermint capsules lol, I know it sounds silly at least it didn't smell rank.....! Any one else like to share a funny side? If not I know ibs doesn't always have a funny side if not most of the time.

I always say it's my sense of humour that keeps me going. When I loose that I may as well give up. 😀

That's happened to me before and also if I've had a BM it's come out smelly very minty! Every cloud 🌥

I'm definitely at Holland &B on Tuesday to get some 👍

Don't get it from there as they don't do the enteric coated version which is what you need. There's a chemist that sell it on ebay just search enteric coated peppermint oil. I'll see if I can find it and give you the item number

143094929689 is the item number

Thank you so much I had no idea about that 👍

The enteric coated ones will dissolve in the bowel x

[Cat33 in reply to Suecoo66]

Have just found they sell the enteric coated ones in H&B

Thanks for letting me know about them
