The response I got were very favourablby in general there were a few who experienced problems but they did seem minor. Here are a few suggestions I recieved. Altoids. Peppermint Lifesavers Pepermint Oil rubbed on the stomach, haven't tried this yet but sounds very relaxing to me. I personally love nothing better than a cup of peppermint tea after a meal and it certainly relaxes my stomach and helps digestion but will be carrying the lifesavers in my handbag also. Some of the problems were that peppermint can reacte to certain drugs, can relax the sphincter muscle leading to the stomach, can cause a condition called GERD. Thanks for the suggestions once again I must say I find this list a great help and a never ending source of good information. Christina.
