Anyone using peppermint oil for IBS?

[essexsi]

Hi all.

Just wondered if anyone was using it and if they had any success. Where is the MSE way of purchasing it?

Thanks for any help. Si

yes a very close relative has a condition like ibs but more severe, they use peppermint oil capsules and it helps the stomache cramps quite a bit but doesnt get rid of them entirely, just eases the cramping. Dont know where u can buy them cheap as they have them on prescription at hundreds a time.
