Hot peppermint tea I have found immensely effective for bloating and it tastes of peppermint, not really tea 
fennel tea tastes nice too but has not really helped my IBS symptoms.
I drink a lot of Rooibos tea (especially vanilla flavoured), great source of anti-oxidants and I adore the taste.
Also, fruit teas? They really taste nothing like normal tea.
You can also put rice/soy milk in the tea, again, completely changes the way it tastes! (but I don't really do it, as rice milk is not great for me due to its high glycemic index, and soy milk will always have more than 25% fat and fat for me is hugely problematic) (soy can be bloating too) (but you may do fine with either of course!)

[I've tried VSL#3 -> I could tolerate v good amounts of IF (even with less SF), it worked great (but overall I find it too expensive)]
