I read on here a few weeks ago someone suggested having 1/2 a fennel or a fennel tea in the evening before bed and after a couple of days you should be in a regular cycle of going to the loo in the morning, and hopefully not having to worry about it at work or school etc. I am pleased to say it works! I have seen fresh fennel in Sainsburys and Tesco's but cant be bothered to try and cook it, so I've been buying fennel tea bags. They are located with the herbal tea bags, and actually taste quite nice. They are gentle on your stomach and relax it (dont forget fennel is the one drink you can give newborn babies as its so gentle on the stomach). I've even noticed I dont get as much trapped wind or bloating. Give it a go. They are not expensive, cost about the same as other herbal tea bags, you never know, it might help you, as it has me. Good luck xx TC xx
