Re: Any chance fennel tea is bothering me?       06/17/10 01:01 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA Fennel helps reduce gas in the bowel and also helps with expulsion. Some of the volatile oils in it are anti-spasmodics, so it can help with cramping and spasms. It shouldn't have any affect on diarrhea or constipation, and it shouldn't be a laxative at all. If you're drinking it as a very hot cup of tea, it may be the heat that is getting things moving. Some people have trouble with very hot liquids. Try brewing the tea as usual, but letting it cool to room temp before you drink it. Best, Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
