That link shows Pharmacy2u. They ship quite happily and very reasonably (cheaper than Boots or used to be) to Aus so you don't need to load up and you don't need to worry about finding it here.

Beautiful!! Thanks! :)

Can't track them down on Aus Google, and I'd like to know whether I should bring loads of packets back with me.....?:confused:

Hi Polly,

Just had a google and it seems like Mintec might be similar?

http://www.getprice.com.au/Mintec-Ca...--47343007.htm

And this UK health site lists them as the equivalent:

http://www.patient.co.uk/medicine/Peppermint-oil.htm

This seems to suggest they are similar too:

http://www.ibs-help-online.com/Peppermint-Oil.html

I think this study is suggesting Colpermin is preferred?

http://www.ibshealthcare.co.uk/node/283

This looks useful too. Says Australia is a targeted market for Colpermin so may be sold in the future.

Seems interesting:

Thanks :) Might give Mintec a go then, honestly didn't expect these to work but they seem to, so I shall stick with them or something that is the Aus equivalent. I'm very much a creature of habit with things like this, find something that works and I stick with it, rather than experimenting further!
