Yes, it's safe...       02/20/06 09:40 AM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA I just tried to key the chart so that every single product wasn't aimed at every single symptom, even though in a lot of cases that's actually correct. Fennel is probably best for bloating, which seems to go hand in hand with constipation much more than diarrhea. But, fennel is also an anti-spasmodic, so it can help diarrhea as well. I don't carry anything that would help one IBS symptom while worsening another. Interestingly, most safe natural products are unlikely to do that - it's more with pharmaceutical drugs that you'll get relief from one symptom at the risk of exacerbating another.
