Glad your feeling better. 
I have a question about the fennel tea. Have you tried others besides Heathers? If so, how do they compare?
Do you think the tea bags are as potent as the loose tea she carries? I'm not sure how they compare money wise...if the loose tea would give me more money's worth? Any feedback?
Thanks!

I did not try another "brand" just bulk from the HFS and that is NO comparison to Heather's. Heather's loose is great...however I found myself wasting it because I would make a big pot and would not always drink it...when I used the tea infusers...I could not get it strong enough because they did not hold enough and as we all know...fennel seeds expand while in the water. And it did not travel well. Heather's tea bags in 8oz of hot water make the PERFECT cup!! And I have at least 4-6 bags in my purse in a ziplock at all times!!

I walked about a mile on the track at the YMCA and did the eliptical for 3 miles and 300 calories. Only did 10 reps with the 5lb weights for my arms, but after 6 months of doing virtually nothing, I can really feel it in my arms!

I tried tea bags from my HFS. They were really dry and the tea smelt really old. I had to brew it REALLY strong for it to touch the bloating at all and then it was so licorice-y that it made me nauseous. I couldn't understand how or why anyone would drink the vile stuff, but I tried Heather's tea and it was a revelation! I love the stuff and it's my best remedy now.

Hi Beth,
I haven't actually tried Heather's fennel tea but I do find that the tea bags I've had in the past (and I've tried a few, mostly in the UK) have been pretty weak. If I ever mixed fennel with peppermint, I could barely taste the fennel.
I'd like to try Heather's loose tea or tea bags if they are stronger.. once I get some moola that is!

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!

Are you using the loose leaf or the tea bags? Do you find one to be stronger?

So you only need to use 1 tea bag? I might get one of each. Bags for work and loose for home, if the loose is more economical...as long as the potency is the same.
Thanks
