2019年6月8日 · My GI has recommended an over the counter product called IBGard for my Irritable Bowel Syndrome. When he told me that it contained peppermint oil I expressed concern because I also have GERD and peppermint is a well known trigger for reflux.

2015年7月31日 · I've been trying IBGard also. It's expensive but somehow I feel it's stronger than the Heather's Tummy Tamers that I'd been using before. At first I didn't think it worked that well and then I read the box and it said you can take 1-2 pills up to 3 times a day; I'd only been taking one. 6 over the course of a day really help, but then a 48-count box ($33) only lasts 8 days, so …

2021年7月15日 · Take IBgard® first and then take the acid reducer one hour later.* Acid reducers, such as antacids or H2 blockers, can lower the level of acid in the stomach, which may cause a premature release of peppermint oil from IBgard. IBgard can generally be taken with proton pump inhibitors (PPI’s), which are longer-acting acid controllers.

2024年5月26日 · IBgard contains what it calls Ultramen and all that really is, is marketing jibberjabber. Ultramen is just their fancy way of saying it will slowly release the peppermint over time.

2019年5月5日 · Are there equally effective, yet less costly alternatives to IBGard? One such potential option is Heather's Tummy Tamer (9.00/30 day supply), but I am unable to find any actual comparisons between the two, or for other information on less costly, yet effective options.

2023年6月7日 · Who has tried IBgard? I started using it about a month ago per my doctor's recommendation. When I took it as directed on the box, it did NOTHING for me. I felt like I wasted my money. But, I realized that my IBS flares, often hit …

2018年6月22日 · Well it's been a month since I've been using IBgard and happy to report that although I still have some degree of D during bowel movements, I experience ZERO bloating and only two BM's per day! At the risk of being too graphic, the D comes and goes, not sure what triggers it? In most cases it's D and some solids - odd. At first I took 3 pills a day for about the …

2021年3月27日 · Which one should I get? FDgard or IBgard? My gastroenterologist gave me FDgard samples but she said I probably have some form of IBS. If that's the case, I would rather get IBgard instead but I don't really know if there's a difference between IBgard or FDgard chemical wise? Seems like both just have peppermint oil in them?

The benefits of IBgard for me, versus traditional enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules (NOW and Heather's Tummy Tamers), has been the significantly reduced heartburn/peppermint burps and abdominal cramping.

2022年7月27日 · Peppermint does help me, but IBGard itself was a no go. The capsules open in my esophagus or stomach instead of my intestines and cause a lot of irritation. I drink peppermint tea before or after meals and that sometimes works ok. I also have some peppermint oil candies formulated by a GI that I use when eating out that work ok as well.
