Colpermin peppermint oil prescribed for IBS

    Clever Guts book and website refers to the FODMAPS diet for IBS but not the commonly prescribed (UK NHS) sustained-release peppermint oil capsules called Colpermin. I’m finding some benefit from this. The rationale is peppermint oil is an anti-spasmodic, and Colpermin is enteric-coated, meaning the coating remains intact in hte stomach and dissolves in the small intestine so peppermint oil is released there and calms the smooth muscles of the gut. Wondering if anyone knows about continuing to take this in relation to peppermint oil and the biome, if I do the CG regime. Thanks!
