Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: The wonder of Fennel!

Oh ho! That's right. I didn't even think of that. Yesterday
I started feeling pretty crappy with an upset stomach and
gas pain. I had made a variation of Heather's cinnamon zuc
bread by substituting cocoa for the cinnamon, and thought
maybe that was the culprit since it's like chocolate. I
also put in three tablespoons of it instead of one because
I had'nt had anything chocolatey in a long while. Now
I realize it was the darn alfalfa! Not only is it IF
, as you point out, additionally they tell you to take
it three times a day when your stomach is *empty*! I
realized today that I started feeling crappy right
after I had taken that stuff. In addition to being IF
and tasting horrible, it also makes your urine light green
due to the concentration of chlorophyll. This reference
*claims* it's necessary build intestinal flora for
proper digestion. My guess is it's way exaggerated,
if not even false as far as it's being necessary.
No more for me, that's for sure! Thanks very much
for pointing that out, you'ved saved me from getting
sick from it today. -Bob
