I heard peppermint tea is great for IBS. Well, when i first tried it, i only drank a little and threw out the rest. I really didnt like the taste, plus i didnt add anything to it.  well, my ibs has been rearing its ugly head latley, so i thought id give it another shot. this time around i added two tsp of sugar , and although it doesnt have the best of taste, i like it  i want to put some milk in it too, but soy and rice milk arnt allowed in our house, and dairy makes me sick :P but thats okay cause i like the tea with just added sugar, and it really helps my IBS now, every morning from the past week and every day now on i am going to start the day with hot peppermint tea.  my mom thinks im nuts to have tea with out milk, but oh well, i love it. she starts the day off with coffee. hmm.... i wonder whose the smart here

Angela,
What brand are you drinking? I tried some but I found it a bit too toothpastey tasting, I wondered if it was just the brand, or maybe it's just an aquired taste. All I seem to drink is water, as I'm so much better for giving up coffee.

i buy the cheapest brand i can find... lol. it 2 bucks for about 25 tea bags. the brand is called Teekanne Pompadour... um... i think its made in germany cause it says germany many times on it. lol. i dont think there really is a brand name to tell ya the truth, all it says is Teekanne Pompadour. and i think that may mean peppermint tea in german... lol. if you dont like the taste, try chamomile.

Hey, you two (Concrete Angel and BritSarah) - I buy my peppermint tea by the pound at a health food store and it's really inexpensive. For 1 lb (16 oz.) I pay around $9.00. That's a lotta tea. I was buying it by the bag but I used about 4-6 bags/day and it was getting out of hand. I also bought spearmint tea to mix with the peppermint because it was a bit harsh and gave me heartburn. Now I have tea to last until I retire!!! I keep some out in a cannister and the rest goes in the freezer. It doesn't really freeze but it keeps it fresh.
I use the metal or mesh infusers in my teapot and make a large pot of it every day. I have a big mugful with breakfast and then the rest of the day, I use it for iced tea.
