I've never had a problem with it. In general, aside from the caffeine, all teas (black, white, green) and herbal teas are safe for IBS. If you're prone to heartburn/reflux, watch out for strong black teas as the tannins can cause problems.
Just about all herbal teas are digestive aids.
You can also brew teas together (like the decaf green tea with the fennel) to get the benefits of the herbal ones you don't care for the taste of. Lots of people don't care for fennel, but want the anti-bloating benefits, so they brew it with peppermint to kill the taste.
Best,
Heather
