I have had that before. My guess is that it has to do with the spasms in the digestive tract being so irregular. Then you get gas pockets and twisty areas. My recommendation would be yes, lots of fennel tea, but also the pep caps to calm the spasms and a soluble fiber supplement to help the colon grip and work more properly. I think that would help a lot.

IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
