No, in fact, quite the opposite.

Peppermint has a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal system. It is thought to calm and relax the muscles along the intestinal tract, thus reducing spasms. Peppermint also seems to be effective in reducing intestinal gas.

Peppermint has three principal activities: it anaesthetizes the mucous membranes, reducing nausea and vomiting; it encourages the liver and gallbladder to produce and release bile; and it "disinfects" the stomach in cases of improper or imbalanced flora.

Peppermint is medicinally useful for reducing such disorders of the gastrointestinal tract as spastic colon, irritable bowel syndrome, and spastic diarrhea. Peppermint taken after a rich meal will reduce gas and indigestion

IF you are drinking Green Tea with peppermint, the Green Tea might be what is upsetting your stomach. It's been known to cause some stomach comfort, and if you have a sensitive stomach, then it's possible it could cause diarrhea.

IF YOU HAVE GERD avoid Peppermint ingestion of any kind. Considered the top of the list in foods not to eat for frequent heartburn suffers, peppermint relaxes the abdominal sphincter allowing stomach acid to reflux back up the esophagus. As a side note GERD suffers frequently have diarrhea, so a loose correlation between diarrhea and peppermint ingestion may be plausible.
