Pages: 1 IBS & Acid Reflux       #231017 - 12/12/05 12:42 PM Edit Reply Quote Travelroo Reged: 12/12/05 Posts: 1 I am new to the board. I have looked at the website and I notice recipes for Tummy Teas and things that involve peppermint. I also have acid reflux and have been told by the doctors not to have any peppermint. Any suggestions?

I, too, have IBS-D and a hiatal hernia. I cannot go NEAR any kind of mint, not even cinnamint!! LOL!! Anyway, I just drink chamomile tea right now. It really helps my reflux AND my IBS. I also have to take antihistimines while I'm drinking chamomile because it gives me killer headaches. But, with an allergy med, it's all good! Unfortunately our "medicinal" tea choices are slim having reflux. It sucks, too! Because peppermint works really well on IBS. I was drinking Fennel but it was making my reflux worse, too. And I just read in my book last night that if you suffer from reflux to stay away from Fennel, lemon balm and of course any kind of mint. I didn't know this.....Anyway, I guess it's okay if we drink other types of tea like black cherry, peach, any kind of flavors...I don't know. They don't help with my IBS symptoms so I don't drink them very much but when I do, it's okay. Hope this helps! Michelle -------------------- IBS-D.

And chamomile is a life saver. Just have a look around newbie...as IBS is a risk factor for getting GERDs alot of us have both.

It makes mine worse. I think....it might be my IBS. I don't know... I just know I feel crappy when I drink it. Too bad because I really like the taste of it!! Michelle -------------------- IBS-D.

In fact, I can't really drink any tea (even other herbals). I think your best bet is to try them and see what happens. We are all so different...you never know!

I'm used to it now but I used to have to hold my nose to stop myself gagging. Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
