Pain and nausea: Peppermint (altoids) is known to relax smooth muscles of the gut so your therapeutic response to it may be diagnostically helpful. Clearly, however lots of things can be wrong with the gut that result in nausea and abdominal discomfort. So to be sure your problem is functional (bowel spasms) and not organic (ulcers, inflammatory bowel, infection, obstructive) medical evaluation is recommended.
