Fennel tea. Check the recipe board for how to brew.

Amy - HanSolo is right. Fennel tea usually does the trick for me. I've had so much bloating recently, I had to buy fennel by the pount. And, it 's much cheaper. Try it. Use a tea infuser. Good luck. Bloating is no fun...and I know first hand.

does fennel taste like licorice? if so, does it come in a pill form? i really can't stand the taste.

also the ginger tea i've found also has a verystrong, almost pepper taste. does anyone have suggestions like a capsule form?

thanks
amy

Hi Amy - I don't know if this will help you out or not, but I can't stand the taste of black licorice! YUCK!! But, I can drink fennel tea. It does have a faint flavor of it, but it's really not that bad. At least for me it's not! I do remember someone recently posting about capsules/pills. You may want to check that out.

As for the ginger--I LOVE ginger, so I can't help you there. Sorry

Good Luck!

Amy - if you put honey in the tea it kinda hides the flavor. That's what I do.

You can get ginger in a capsule at places like GNC, my mom has a bottle of it. Does peppermint tea help with bloating too?

Do you use whole seeds for tea or should they be crushed?

Just brew the whole seeds in a tea strainer. No need to crush them.

Sharon:
I have had a miserable day. I was so constipated that I had to use some laxatives. It just wears me out.
Do you know anyone who sort of just hibernates when these happen.
I feel as though I am missing out on so much.
