Peppermint Tea

Last week I had an endoscopy where it was found that I have gastritis...inflammation & irritation of the lining of the stomach. The gastroenterologist put me on Prevacid. One of the 'no-nos' in the pamphlet cautioned against drinking Peppermint tea, among other things, due to the acidity in the tea. This is in direct conflict with what I read in Heather's IBS book. Whether it's from the Prevacid and/or my quit drinking peppermint tea, the stomach pain has reduced somewhat.

My quandry now is finding a tea that I can tolerate. I've read that chamomile & fennel teas help the stomach but I break out in hives when I drink it. Water is getting very boring.

Any insights will be appreciated.
