Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: Strugglin'...You poor baby...

Ruchie - I had no idea you were still feeling so bad. I've been also having bloating which never has happened to me before and so I started drinking fennel tea. I went thru one of those little bottles in less than a week so needless to say I went to the health food store today and they were out of bulk fennel. Boy, was I pissed. A little jar of it costs almost $5 at the grocery store, but today it was on sale for 50% off so I bought 2. I'm going on the internet and buy some bulk there.

Anyway, have you tried fennel tea when you;re bloated? It sure helps me feel better and gets rid of most of the bloating.

Also, why don't you try switching to Fibercon like Heather suggested (or Wal-mart generic which I use and are cheaper) instead of the orange stuff you use. That could be giving you the gas and cramps. The Benefiber I used was terrible for me. I farted all day and night and my poor husband...oy vey!

What does vinegar, mustard, etc. do to you when you eat it? And, are you sure they're the culprit?

I'm just trying to be a Private Eye with you...it seems to be one of my better points. I love to find the answers to questions...guess that's why I like puzzles.

Take it easy for Passover. It'll be over in a week and you'll be able to eat "normal" again. Just enjoy all those lovely potatoes and chicken...just don't come on the board and "cluck" your posts!!!!

If you can't eat Matzah on Passover, ,why do they have it out with all the other Passover stuff in the grocery store?

Hugs to you, Ruchila!
