Hello all, I'm new and after some advice.
I've had IBS for years but recently I've had gastroenteritis and I have really bad bloating which isn't going away.
My GP advised I try peppermint oil, I bought some liquid today but I don't know how to use/take it... can anyone advice on taking this??
Many thanks.

Normally ppl take capsules, I can't imagine it's very nice as a liquid

Thanks for replying, I'm gonna give liquid a go and if it improves then I'll try capsuels

I take a cap before each meal. It helps so much to sooth the acid burn I sometimes experience after a loose bm. The caps have an extra slow disolving shell so stomach acid doesn't break it down so quickly -- this way the oil enters your digestive track and not in your stomach. If it were me, I would not take the liquid. May cause acid reflux and a strong taste in your mouth and be diluted by your stomach acid and not be as beneficial to your intestinals/colon. I don't know. Might want to check the net and with doc.

Thanks from replying, how long before food do you take it??
I'm on omeprazole 20mg for stomach acid too.

I take the cap after I eat. You take omeprazole before you eat, right? Not sure how those two should be taken. Might want to do some net research. Sorry don't have a real answer for you.
