Can Peppermint cause stomach pains?

Anytime I eat a peppermint, drink something with peppermint in it (even tea) or have a candy cane, my stomach cramps up and just hurts a lot. I know it is supposed to relax your stomach and relieve stomach pains, and I have no idea why it does this. It's only a problem because I love the taste and always forget that it makes my stomach hurt until I already finished my peppermint. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
