On the funny side.....

โ€ข12 Replies

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. ๐Ÿ˜€

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
