Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) Support Group

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common intestinal disorder that is characterized by bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, cramping, and constipation. Typically no abnormalities appear during standard medical testing, and so irritable bowel syndrome is identified by the symptoms. Although irritable bowel syndrome can cause serious discomfort, the intestines are not harmed.

Tell us about your personal experience with Chamomile as a treatment: Has it worked? Have you had any issues? Any recommendations or tips?

I use peppermint oil or candy in my tea which helps. But I only drink this at night since it makes me sleepy.

I never had much luck with peppermint tea-so I use the Chamomile and I have had great success with it. I feel better in just a few minutes of drinking the tea.

WE use it for our son as well, when he has severe abdominal crapping and he is the same as I am, relieved in minutes.

I drink YOGI TEA, CALMING (made with organic Chamomile) Daily Stress Rilief. It is said to reduce tension and Anxiety. It seems to work.
