tummy tea bag kit

I really love the big peppermint tea bags, which are larger and stronger than any I can buy in the store. Also, this was my first time getting the peppermint caps and they are amazing for bringing down bloating from gas. I take one with almost every meal. I'm not a big fan of the fennel tea, I wish it could be a mixture of fennel and something else because the fennel flavor isn't very agreeable. Thanks!

Hi Jennie - if you don't care for the licorice taste of the fennel tea, brew it in the same cup with the peppermint tea. It will end up tasting just like peppermint alone, but you'll still get the benefits of the fennel. Best, Heather

Quick relief of cramps with peppermint and fennel tea
I just had my third bout of IBS in as many years. This one seemed to be lasting a bit longer than usual, so I came across Heather's website and found a wealth of info. I ordered the teas and capsules and after trying them almost within 10 minutes the cramps stopped. In a few days, the IBS had subsided greatly. I now am symptom free and taking the peppermint capsules and teas daily. I'm so glad I didn't have to rely on prescription meds.

the tea has helped me tremendously
Thirty years of constant pain, shows proof that I was not crazy - finally - the tea works...After a CT Scan (and wanting to put me on Zelnorm), The doctors wanted to do surgery on my left groin to see what was wrong with me. The pain would radiate down my left thigh. I told them to take a hike (so to speak) Now I'm practically pain free. No symptoms like I had for thirty years. My mother is 78, has diverticulitis and polyps. I share the tea with her. She too, is doing much better. No bloating or pain.

thank you
Just wanted to thank you for your tummy tea (fennel), peppermint capsules and the fiber. My mom went into the hospital in January for what I think was IBS but the doctors said differently. They said she had a bacteria infection and was sent home. A month later we took her to St. Joseph's Hospital in Maryland and her bowel was completely twisted, she looked like she was 9 months pregnant ( she is 83 years old). They did a CAT Scan and saw how the bowel was twisted. The gastro doctor blew air in her and opened the bowel and so far she as been doing well. My son and I take care of her, she lives with us. My son Paul Digiacinto purchased your products and your IBS receipe book. We have been giving her protein, potassium and have been following your good fiber for her bowel. I puree all of her food for the time being. I have purchased all soy products. The doctors did not diagnosis her with IBS but all of her symptoms were all related to IBS. We told the doctors what we were doing and they said to go for it. She has been going to the bathroom almost everyday. She just loves the fennel tea. Your products are amazing and juts wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your heal and especially you wonderful web site.

Although it works it caused problems

The peppermint capsules keep repeating and the menthol burns my throat. I can't tolerate the fennel at all. The taste of the peppermint tea was off. There was a weed like flavor to them. Peppermint works miracles for IBS but the grocery store peppermint tea bags work just as well. Stops symptoms in about 5 minutes.

Hello Janice,

I am so sorry you experienced these issues with the products.

Please feel free to return any of the products for a full refund at any time.

Peppermint is contraindicated for people with GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn. Many people with IBS often have these conditions, so we worked around it by enteric coating the peppermint oil capsules. This helps them to pass through the stomach without dissolving by making them resistant to the stomach acid. In fact, we doubled the enteric coating on our peppermint caps because we found it helped people with these conditions to be able to use them to manage their IBS without aggravating their upper GI issues.

However, some people with severe GERD/Reflux/chronic heartburn still have problems with the peppermint capsules because they will dissolve in the stomach before reaching the intestines. The antispasmodic effect you want to happen in your intestines will then occur in the stomach and this relaxes the sphincters at the top of the stomach. If this happens, it can lead to heartburn.

There are a few things we have found that help to prevent this from happening.

1) Take the peppermint capsules on an empty stomach an hour before the meal to allow them time to reach the intestines and dissolve before the food arrives. Taking them too close to meal time can be problematic for people with reflux.

2) The peppermint caps should not be taken during or after a meal because the food will block them from reaching the intestines and this could cause them to dissolve in the stomach.

3) Drinking only enough liquid to swallow the capsules seems to help them pass through without dissolving in the stomach. The enteric coating makes them resistant to stomach acid, but they are still water soluble. Limiting the amount of liquid they'll be floating around in will help them reach their destination.

4) You shouldn't take them at the same time as any medication (prescription or over-the-counter) designed to lower the stomach acid. Lowering the stomach acid makes the enteric coating less likely to work (remember it is resistant to high acid). For folks who need to take these medications, what we came up with is taking the peppermint caps about an hour before you take the acid lowering/blocking medication. This will give them a better chance of making it down to the intestines where they will dissolve and start to take effect without affecting the upper GI.

Our Peppermint Tea is medicinal strength and is much stronger than most tea brands you will find at the store. The taste of the tea will be slightly different than other teas because the volatile oil content is much higher.

I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Again, please feel free to return any of the products at any time. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.

Best,
Joanna

I am pleased with your products especially the peppermint oil capsules and your teas.
Hello Heather, I am feeling better but I am still suffering from bloating. I try to be very disciplined with my menu but even the smallest amount of food off the chart results in me paying for it dearly. I am pleased with your products especially the peppermint oil capsules and your teas. I also find sleeping my 8 hours really helps too. Am I on your newsletter email list? I would like to be included, thank you. I haven't received any correspondence to date. Thank you for following up. Happy Holidays!

Tummy Tea
Good Morning, I wanted to take a minute and say thank you..!! I have dealt with IBS for 12 years now. I love your peppermint tea but the fennel tea is outstanding... I have taken daily medication for 12 years and still had problems.. I tried this tea as a test and you won... I honestly had reduced my medication in half in just one month of drinking the tea... This has truly made my life with IBS easier... I believe that I will see the prescription medicine go away... What a joy... Thank you for being here to help. Sincerely, Darlene D.
