The "breaking the cycle" diet and the "what to eat when you can't eat anything" diet (which I mentioned in my other post) are the same thing. Typically, when we have bad attacks, we go to the can't-eat-anything diet for a few days, and it kind of stabilizes things - breaking the cycle.
Fennel seed is what's typically used for the tea - crush them lightly, then steep. I'm jealous of your fresh mint, by the way. Oh, I wish I had a garden!
