I love fennel tea and find it to be incredibly helpful. What do you know about eating the fennel bulb?

Lots of insoluble fiber, so follow the rules for that. -nt- new

I think it is the essential oils in herbs like fennel that are curative. So the bulb of the fennel doesn't necessarily have the same properties.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
