If pure maple syrup has fructose, then why is it healthier to have than maple syrup? Thanks for the information, I guess when I have pure maple syrup having smaller portions can make a difference.
I notice that when I have had peppermint capsules, they have not relieved me as good as peppermint tea, I wonder if as you said they really aren't as good for this, which is too bad because the capsules are much easier to take.

Peppermint caps tend to be one of those prevention things rather than an immediate remedy like tea. As Linz said, the heat of the tea is very soothing to the digestive system, which has an immediate effect. The peppermint caps work slowly through your stomach and intestines to soothe it over time, so you take them a few times a day and generally notice that you're getting less spasms after a few days. You'll still want to keep the tea around though to help you out when your feeling bad.
The heat seems to help you - have you tried a hot pack??? I find this works wonders to soothe a bloated tummy within a few mins.
I don't know much about the fructose content of maple syrup but I think those things are best in small amounts (honey, maple syrup), as in around a tbsp at a time tops. If you're looking for something to put on pancakes, I like applesauce and cinnamon even better than maple syrup

Thanks retro, I can't explain how helpful your answers to me are.
I notice with peppermint tea that it does relieve me, but this lasts for about 20 minutes, is there a way I can make it so the effect of the tea lasts more, should I drink 2 cups, I want more than 20 minutes when experience bloating.
The only problem with cinamon is that it doesn't come in a sauce you can dip wheat free waffles in. I imagine whipped cream is good on this too.

When you make a joke like this one, put a  after it. It's one of the Instant Graemlins right below the box you compose your posts in. That way everybody knows you're joking about the whipped cream. It's a little easier on the blood pressure than thinking you're serious. Thanks.
