Mint caplets are, generally speaking, stronger per dose than a mint tea would be, and of course they're a little more convenient to take. *But*, for me, the mint tea was still a better option, because the heat from the tea is also soothing.

I believe fennel caplets would work about the same, on the same theory as the mint tea vs. capsules. I feel your pain on the pills - I can't swallow anything bigger than a tylenol. I don't know what your symptoms are, but if you're not especially gassy, you can definitely skip the fennel - that's pretty much what it's good for.

I can't answer the tummy fiber question, as I've never tried it. I'm sure someone will come along who can, though!
