`
`Abstract
`In a randomized, double-blind controlled trial, 42 children with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) were given pH-
`dependent, enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules or placebo. After 2 weeks, 75% of those receiving
`peppermint oil had reduced severity of pain associated with IBS. Peppermint oil may be used as a therapeutic
`agent during the symptomatic phase of IBS.
