[1, 2]
Why Mint Causes Problems

Relaxes Muscles: Peppermint and other mint varieties relax smooth muscle tissue, which can cause the LES valve to stay open or loose. Allows Acid Flow: A relaxed valve lets stomach juices and food flow back up, leading to heartburn and irritation.
Common Triggers: After-dinner mints, peppermint teas, mint-flavored gums, and even mint toothpaste can provoke symptoms for people with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
