Hi I am new to this room but I have a couple questions! I have been dealing with ibs for several years and suffer severe constipation and gas! I have tried zelnorm but with my insurance it is very expensive to get every month. I bought fennel tea but i feel like it bloats me very bad with bad gas pains! I am a little frustrated because I cannot find anything to help me! Does anyone have any suggestions or does anyone know if feenel tea is suppose to do this? Thank you for your help!!

Hi and welcome to the boards! You might want to jump over to the Eating for IBS board and do a search. There has been a LOT of C questions/answers going on lately.
I'm a C too, and the Acacia, water, and a couple of other good supplements has me feeling tons better!! Come over to the Eating board and read a bit!

Well the fennel should help get the gas OUT. Are you brewing it good and strong? And did you get Heather's (it's very fresh) or a HFS's teabags?

Nope that's not normal. If I take it when I'm already bloated then it makes me more gassy, but that's it.
You are sipping it, yeah? And not drinking too much in too short a time?
Hmmm...maybe you have a fennel intolerance? Never heard of that tho.

...sort of as a precaution, like Immodium? I get gas too when I drink it, but I know that's a sign it's working. I need to get some of Heather's tea. I just can't decide if I should get the bulk seeds or the tea bags. The bulk seems like it would be more economical and more potent  , but the tea bags sure are handier to take to work!

Well I am sipping it, not really chugging it! When it starts to get cooler I usually drink it fairly quickly! Maybe I should not do that! I wonder if I am suppose to drink alot of it! I am gonna do more research on it, but it just seems weird that I get sooooo bloated from it!:) Thank you much for replying!

I usually do drink it before I get bloated! When I do drink it, it just seems like someone could stick a pin in me and I will explode:) I bought Heathers fennel tea and I'm not sure what the problem is but Im thinking about trying the peppermint tea instead!

Hi-I have IBS-C also. The books that I have read suggest Peppermint tea. I have been drinking it daily for a month or so-around the same time I started with Zelnorm. I think it has helped some, but I do get bouts of gas here and there, but I am not sure if it is linked to the tea or not.
Does anyone know the magic medicine to get rid of the gas and pain?
For those taking Zelnorm, how long does one need to take it? Months? A year???
Thanks.
