Hello Everyone,
I have had stomach problems for as long as I can remember that my doctors have presumed is IBS. Although sadly I have not yet had extensive tests to rule out other disorders (colitis etc) but I am having that done soon.
Anyways, I've found this board really helpful and have started drinking fennel and peppermint teas which have really helped. My question is, I was talking to my Dad who said that when I had bad gas pains as a baby and young child, they would give me gripe water which apparently really helped and I really enjoyed. Does anyone here know if it's safe to drink as an adult and/or if it's been proven at all effective in helping IBS symptoms?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Kelly
