Hi everyone,

I'm just wondering if anybody finds herbal tea good for their IBS?

I have bought some chamomile tea and some peppermint and fennel, only had 1 of each today, but I'm hoping they'll do what they say they're suppose to.

Any tips or advice with herbal teas would be fab :-)

I love herbal teas. I drink peppermint or ginger for digestion, bedtime tea which has valerian root and chamomile in it to help with sleep and get regular or smooth move occasionally for constipation. I also drink hot green tea with different fruits added to the tea bag. Yum!

Haven't tried it for the IBS but i do like to have thos bedtime teas though i must say they sometimes give me stomach acid so i cant have one every evening. I mus say they do help u relax a bit so i think it's definitly worth the effort of buying :)

for mild stomach upset I really like peppermint tea

I love the chamomile at night but I have IBS-D so I have to be careful and dont drink tea except at home.

I love herbal teas for relaxing me (sometimes I have a hard time winding down enough to sleep), or when I'm feeling under the weather and want something warm to drink. I haven't tried anything for my stomach/intestinal issues, but I've been considering trying some for that. I have not had any check-ups for stomach issues yet, but I do have some trouble at times. That will probably be the next thing I focus on checking out, so something soothing would be nice.

Hi, duraindeleon!  Please take the link to the website out of your signature.  This is not allowed on the forum.  I did remove it from the above post.  Thanks!

 

I am glad that you found us and joined in.  I'm a tea drinker but love cinnamon stick tea.  They have so many wonderful teas on the market right now that I have a whole shelf in my pantry with a huge variety to choose from.

 

Do you have fibro?  If so, be sure to read Fibro 101...the second thread on the forum.  There are links to good information about fibro and you will learn a lot there.  Good starting links are called Symptoms, What Else Could It Be, and A Throrough Explanation of Fibromyalgia. 

 

I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.  Don't hesitate to ask questions because we are here to help you.  Hope to hear more from  you soon.

I like Smooth Move also. SInce I've been on so many meds for my back pain, (incl. round-the-clock narcotics) I need it to live up to its name....and it usually does!

I have never found a tea that I can stand the taste of. It always seems so... blah! Any advice on how to maybe start with this? A cup of tea before bed might be just the ticket to help me sleep a bit more (although Im counting on my new bed to help as well lol)

Just add some honey or lemon to your tea and it will help the taste.

Cannot stand honey, either. Its too sweet and sappy :( I actually remembered that there is a tea I do like--orange peko, with sugar and lemon :) Although, Im pretty sure that doesnt count as a before-bed tea; its full of caffeine lol
