But weight/mass didn't change one bit (okay exaggeration, but not by much), so maybe peppermint helps relieve gas. Who knows? There's a lot that this data could mean, and no simple way to figure it out.
- bherms 1mo agoi actually had heard it helps w/ bloating/stomach issues online and took for a while and def noticed a debloating effect and less gas... obviously 1 anecdote, but I'd assume any slight waistline reduction is due to that. Also sidenote: pooping often made it feel like I put a breathmint... up... "there" lol
- samudrijan 1mo agoFunniest thing today so far.
- simondotau 1mo agoNot surprising, it’s what happens to capsaicin too. Something has to happen to the molecules/compounds you consume. Either your body discards them, stores them, or transforms them. The fascinating part is that your anal tissue has that level of sensitivity and insight.

- scorpioxy 1mo agoIn my culture, that's the goto herbal drink for when you have a stomach ache due to indigestion or gas by the way. I don't know how or why they work but some of these things do work. The footnote here is that it is for pain/discomfort that would also go away by itself if untreated. It just speeds up the process and provides some comfort. For different kinds of pain/discomfort, a doctor needs to be consulted of course.
- wahern 1mo agoMint stimulates release of bile, which can help digestion, especially of fats. I have gallstones and unfortunately recently learned first hand how powerful the effect is after eating a couple of leaves (two kinds, but I forget which) from a neighbor's garden.
- mindhash 1mo agoI thought on similar lines. Because I use it often for ibs i noticeably feel much better and I suspect the bp and heart rate reduction could be due to reduced gi effect on body
- ajb 1mo agoIt's actually prescribed for that: https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/peppermint-oil/ https://www.nhs.uk/medicines/peppermint-oil/
- Tade0 1mo agoIt's a mild laxative on top of that. I think they've pooped out the difference.
