I also get bloated, which never happened before and I get terrible gas. Still trying to find my gas trigger. But, in the morning, I get a big ceramic teapot and put two peppermint teabags and one peppermint/spearmint combination teabag in the pot w/boiling water and sweetner. I let it steep about 10-15 minutes and drink a large cup with my breakfast. Then I let the bags steep until it gets cold and fill a huge glass half full with the rest of the tea and then chipped ice. I drink from it all day until dinner, when I make another large glass of it.
The only thing I have found to make me feel better when my stomach is bloated is to put a larger pair of trousers on so they're not so tight. It's a real pisser, it is!
Sorry I couldn't help more. Sharon
