The first year I had IBS and was trying to figure out what to do, I was bloated all the time and my "friend" used to always comment on it--saying I was fat or why was my belly so big. So frustrating! I think she told people I had a worm or something!

Sounds like you did have a worm - her.

As for fennel, I've heard that it's possible to buy really fresh spices cheaply at Indian food stores. I haven't tried it, but it might be something to look into. Brand names - I like Traditional Medicinals Eater's Digest tea. It's a combo of peppermint, fennel, and ginger. I don't have big problems with bloat so I can't swear to it's efficacy, but I like the taste. I've also found fennel crostini at my grocery store - they're fabulously delicious, which is odd since I hate fennel tea.
