Peppermint Oil

Someone told me to take Peppermint Oil capsules for IBS. Does anyone know if they help ?

I haven't had a chance to try them yet myself, but my naturopath mentioned them before.  She said to be sure to get the ones that say they're enteric coated.  The idea is to have the coating not break down 'til it hits the colon.  The peppermint oil is supposed to soothe the colon.

My son in law says peppermint oil will have a numbing effect and cause the intestine to relax. I just started to try them and only once when all the bad things added up like being tired, not eating right did I get indigestion from them. It's worth a try. Can't hurt.
