Catnut, thank you so much for the nice reply.  I actually have used Altoids and I carry them with me wherever I go just in case. Sometimes, at restaurants I'll ask for hot water (as if I'm ordering tea) and drop an Altoid in it. I have also just dropped my Altoid into water w/no ice which still works well. I'm also a huge fan of baths or body washes that have peppermint in them. I have some peppermint essential oil, too. There are many ways to use it, but many times when I ran out of tea, I put a drop or two in hot water. I also have a hot/cold pack that has mint in it that feels nice. I don't have a tea ball or tea strainer or teapot. so I don't use loose tea, but I have in the past. Peppermint is one of my faves and my GI tract thinks so too. So far I've been drinking two types by Traditional Medicinals; Eater's Digest and Peppermint. Both are really tasty and agreeable to my GI tract, and they are both available at the Fry's grocery store (Kroger's) I shop at most often, and reasonably priced in my opinion since the teas are more of a health and organic food and not just a typical tea. I have had both teas hot and cold and they taste great both ways. I also had in mind to try the Acacia Fiber as soon as I could afford it. For right now, I've been using Citrucel Clear mix which is probably the best OTC fiber supplement I've tried in a long time with safe ingredients. Of course, it does help if I remember to take it, lol! But when I do, I put it into smoothies. Anyhow, thanks again, Catnut for thinking of me. Take care all!
