Now if you can create an air freshner for my office to hide the gas...that does not smell like I just sprayed it....(always happens...as soon as I spray, someone walks in)

Shell I swear you crack me up!!!LOL I need to try the fennel tea. What does it taste like?? I have always stuck to the peppermint but am thinking about ordering the fennel since I too suffer from gas and bloating at least once a week!

HEHEHE.... I find myself laughing at me too at times....
A: It tastes like mild black licorice. I love it... I don't even use sweetener... I really like the tea bags...makes it a lot easier to make at work..... but if you already have an infuser for your peppermint... then loose is great too... the tea bags make the "perfect cup" for MY tastebuds....

Oh black licorice!  I do not like black licorice at all! Maybe I should just stick with peppermint tea instead. Thanks though!!! Oh by the way too bad the gas coming out after drinking the tea didn't smell like licorice. Then maybe it would be more tolerable to others!!! LOL

I'm like you - I don't like black licorice at all (it makes me gag), but I can tolerate the taste of fennel tea much better. The flavor is very mild and it mixes well with chamomile tea.
Although it tastes good and helps with both my IBS AND menstrual cramps, peppermint tea, for me, doesn't have the same "releasing powers" as fennel.

Try Eaters Digest by Traditional Medicinals or Tummy Mint by Celestial Seasonings. They have mint/fennel in them and the tummy mint also has Chammomile or however you spell it.
