I am an IBS-D, with spasms that make me go to the bathroom frequently. I was wondering how many glasses of peppermint tea you guys drink on a daily basis to keep your system calm? Thanks.

When I was having D problems I drank at least 2 cups of peppermint tea a day, sometimes more. It totally depends on what your system needs. I'd say grab one whenever you're feeling spasms coming on... it certainly can't hurt!

I alternate between peppermint, tummy mint and chamomile. By the way one tea bag should be good for about three cups (This is based on my own desperate experiment that I tried one day).

I remember Heather saying that if the pain is bad you should use at least 2 teabags per cup to get a strong dose of tea into you! The weaker tea has a weaker effect. I'm IBS A and drink a cup a day or LOTS ie five or six cups if I am midattack. As soon as I feel cramps coming on I boil the kettle!

You know, just for the sake of enjoyment when you're sick of water.
