Hi - virtually any herbal tea will be just fine, and probably helpful. The vast majority of herbs and spices are digestive aids, even if they're not labeled that way. Cinnamon is, for example, which is probably why the apple cinnamon tea helped you. Check the ingredients - the odds are there are some other helpful spices in there too.
Really, all you have to watch for is that the tea is caffeine-free, and that you're not picking up some funky "diet tea" which will have laxative ingredients or diuretics. But virtually anything from Celestial Seasonings, or Republic of Tea, or any other mainstream brand that's herbal will help you. So just start choosing flavors that sound good to you.
