Hi, I have IBS/C and have recently been drinking Fennel tea. Anyway, the product I normally used I had run out of. So someone told me to go ahead and purchase "Fennel Seeds" (in Spice section) and I did. I then boiled the 1 1/2 OZ of Fennel seeds in about a quart of water. I've been drinking it, and I don't know what's going on...it can be "anything as I also have IBS"...but, I've been having this feeling of unrelievable bowel movements, that feel like Diahrea, even after I go? I was doing fine before w/just the Zelnorm, Fiber, Citrocel, Probiotics and Enzymes, and staying away from Meats and Milk (I use Lactaid). I did the math and it turns out that each cup has about 8 Tea bags of Fennel of the normal Fennel Tea I use.Could Fennel tea make you feel like diahrea and have thrown off my "somewhat controlled IBS"? Help, Thanks...Jay

I do not see diarrhea as a side effect, but if that is the only thing that changed you might drop back the dose to a more normal level or cut it out for awhile and see what happens.K.
Thank you Kathleen, I have been cutting down...still not sure yet though; as I've always been a IBS/C...now suddenly since those several days of super strong fennel, I've been an IBS/D'er (not very pleasent, I'll tell you that). But I'm praying...hopeful...and keeping all all the other things that I've been doing to keep my IBS "somewhat" controlled.....Thanks again....Jay
