Sorry! I'm using abbreviations too much cos I'm a bit tired...and very lazy.

Probiotics are basically "good" bacteria. Do you have Yakult yogurt/drinks or "live" yogurt over there? They're probiotics (but also dairy). If you ask in a health food store, they'll be able to find you some, probably in capsule form - just check that they are dairy free.

SFS = Soluble Fibre Supplement. There are many types available, some suit some people better. Any that contain psyllium will cause bloating (but might be better if you have C - constipation). Heather sells one (Acacia) of this site and that seems to be the gentlest on most people. It's also good because it dissolves completely and it practically taste free. Some of the other types make a gloopy, gell-like drink which is a bit gross.

Try mixing the peppermint tea with Chamomile or dried lavender. Or just hold your nose! Or just start off with Chamomile, which isn't so strong-smelling.
