    Fennel tea/ yes or no

    Hi, hope someone out there can help. I am sure i read somewhere that fennel tea was ok for ic but now i can't find where i got it from. I have tried some and i like the taste but i will feel more reassured if someone else feels it's ok.
    Thanks P x

      I have had not had a problem with it either! And it really helped my tummy out when I was going through a bout of colitis! If you've tried it and haven't had any increase in symptoms, maybe try a little bit more and see how you do - just to be on the safe side, lol!

          I do fine with it as well (i'm not so jazzed on the taste, meh!) but IC-wise I'm OK and it helps with bloating/gas associated with IBS.

              Does it help with constipation?

                  Hi there! The fennel tea is sold on an IBS website and is supposed to help with constipation, gas and bloating. I don't like the licorice taste either, but if you sweeten it up a bit, it's not too bad. I've never had IC problems with it.
