I can eat high fodmap now because of peppermint oil!

I've been on the low fodmap diet for years, and I know people say it's only meant to be a temporary diet, but with the frequency of stomach aches, diarrhea, the majority of high fodmap foods triggering my gut, and other treatments not helping, there was no other good option.

I heard a lot of people's IBS symptoms improved because of peppermint oil, so I tried ibgard peppermint oil capsules. They're kinda expensive at $1 per capsule, but if it meant no pain, it's a small price to pay. I've been taking 1 every day for the past few days and it has been pain-free and I'm so happy! My gut had become more sensitive for the whole week prior and aching even as I became stricter with the diet, so it was like the clear sky at the end of a rainstorm. I've been indulging in cake, pasta, hot chocolate, bread, cream cheese, etc and there has been no excessive gas, no diarrhea, no stomach aches.

And I think naturally because I'm eating more, food has been moving more quickly through my intestines and I've been less constipated. Not 100% sure. Still not perfectly smooth poops, but it's a good improvement.
