Several studies have shown that enteric-coated peppermint capsules can help treat symptoms of IBS, including pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea.

Mountain Dew is a brand of soft drink owned by the American company PepsiCo and originating in America. Originally made in 1940 in Tennessee by bottlers Moses and Ally Hartman, it was revised by Bill Bridgeworth in 1958, with its contract being purchased by Tip, and undergoing further revisions to the formula in 1961 by William H. Bill Jones.
Previously, in several countries outside the US, Mountain Dew contained no caffeine. However, it was reported that in the beginning of 2012, places like Canada now sell caffeinated mountain dew as the principle product. Canada used to have a regulation that prevented the sale of non-cola sodas containing caffeine. Within the US and elsewhere, PepsiCo does make a caffeine-free version. Besides caffeine, Mountain Dew contains a high amount of sugar. In fact one 16 fl.oz. bottle of Mountain Dew has more sugar than 2 Snickers candy bars.
