I’ve suffered from IBS-D since I was a teen, and nothing has worked quite like this. I have had to leave work so many times due to my bowels acting up. Every three days I would be in misery on the toilet. It’s not perfect, but I definitely get less spastic colon attacks because of it. I wish it was a little cheaper, but it’s worth it. I will definitely continue to purchase since it is helping me so much. Thank you for making an amazing product.

This product comes in a rather large capsule but is easy to swallow. If it isn’t followed by a full glass of liquid it can cause a burning sensation in your throat and esophagus. It is very helpful for digestion and intestinal problems.

Great product actually does what it advertised. However like anything else need for maintenance cost is sky high. I purchase often anyway.

My father uses these regularly, IBgard Daily Gut Health Support Supplement for multiple Symptoms. He’s used them for many years and they are always very expensive everywhere. When I came across them on Amazon, I was so happy because the pricing was the best I’ve seen from anywhere else and I’ve been getting these for years for him! Totally recommend! Thank you!

These are a life saver. I have a ton of unexplained GI problems and my specialist recommended them. I’m so happy she did! They’ve helped relieve a variety of tummy troubles – and all much faster than any OTC I’ve encountered.

Physician with IBS-D here. My experience with this product has been very good. The next day after taking it for the first time I had my first normal BM in many, many months. I’ve found Heather’s Tummy Tamers to work well also but these seem to have a better enteric coating on them. If taken on an empty stomach and with not too much water, I get no minty reflux at all. The price is more than Heather’s, but I’ll pay more to avoid the reflux. For those wondering about it, the reflux is because peppermint oil is a smooth muscle relaxant. That’s how it works in the gut — the gut wall is smooth muscle, and in IBS it is contracting too much or too forcefully or not in a patterned way. However, the gastroesophageal sphincter is also smooth muscle, and that is what prevents reflux. Relax it with peppermint and you get reflux. Enteric coatings work by not dissolving in an acidic environment — like your stomach. However, if you dilute your stomach acid with food or beverage while the peppermint capsule is in there, then the coating will dissolve and you will get the reflux. Hence, take your enteric coated peppermint, whether this product or heather’s, 30 minutes to an hour before eating, using enough water be sure you got it down and no more.
The “number needed to treat” for peppermint oil for IBS is very low — around 2.5. That means for every 5 people treated with peppermint oil, 2 will experience benefit. That may sound like a not-so-good number, but actually in pharmacology that is a very good NNT. For comparison, the NNT for prescription antispasmodics like Bentyl and Levsin is in the 3-7 range, which is also quite good, but compare those numbers to something like Xifaxan which has an NNT of 11 and costs $900-1,800 per month and you begin to appreciate that peppermint oil is winner. And with a low cost and low side effect profile, it’s almost impossible to beat from a cost/side effect/NNT combined perspective.
Give peppermint oil a try. Try Heather’s first if you don’t have any problems with reflux as Heather’s is much cheaper. IBS is multifactorial. If peppermint oil doesn’t help you, then gut hypermotility or dismotility is not your problem and you will need to try something else — FODMAP diet, prebiotics, probiotics, and EXERCISE (that one is for everyone no matter what, of course). If it helps a little, you will need something else in addition to it. And for some lucky folks, this is all you will need.

I like this product. I do not take the recommended amount as I find it is too much. I take 2 pills in am and pm a few days a week. This product was recommended to me by my Gastro Dr. as I have IBS and issues from cancer. It works quickly, as in a day or two. I do get some cramping, but minimal. It works really well on the bloating.
