Pages: 1 | 2 | (show all) Fennel tea       #304185 - 04/06/07 12:58 PM Edit Reply Quote meimei Reged: 12/02/06 Posts: 173 Loc: Chicago Does anyone know if fennel tablets work as well as fennel tea? I HATE the tea...if I have to drink one more cup I think I will have to scream! I usually chug it luke warm and plug my nose!

Sometimes I would take two at a time and it mildly helped but the only cure for gas for me is the tea which I have learned to deal with. Also, I accidentially dropped one of those tablets in a glass of water once and let it sit there and went back to it HOURS after and the coating still hadn't dissolved!! Very weird. I have started taking beano lately and have not have had nearly the need for the tea as I usually have. I was up to three cups a day in the morning.

All I can taste is the fennel. I even put it in a double spice chai latte, and I could still taste it. Gag!

I wonder why the fennel tablet didn't dissolve?? No wonder it didn't do any good! Thanks!

I use a very small amount of Silk soymilk creamer into a strongly brewed cup of Stash double spice chai.

I find those never work for me though - only straight fennel works. I don't like the taste but with lots of sugar I got used to it. Much better than the alternative!

I grind them and let them steep, but still, no relief.

I do like the results of the fennel, but the taste is awful. I will try putting lots of sugar in it and chugging it. How many cups do you drink per day? And what brand?
