Can i take enteric peppermint oil caps for ibs, when i also have barretts esophagus? i'm currently taking omeprazol and dicyclone.

YES..: ..But make sure you have your GI specialist keep a keen eye on the barrett's. Regular endoscopies with biopsy will be necessary to monitor dysplastic changes.

Precautions: Peppermint oil can help ibs, but people have also experienced heartburn with this. It may decrease lower esphoageal sphincter pressure, allowing stomach acid to reach esophagus -- not good for someone with known barrett's esophagus. If you're going to use this, an enteric-coated preparation may get it beyond that point before being released -- less risk. Your GI doc will be best adviser here.
