I read that fennel seeds are good for stomach issues, especially gas, etc.  I was wondering if anyone had ever eaten fennel seeds for medical purposes and what your experiences have been.  I know you can have tea and other things as well.  Thanks!

Grandma used to make us fennel tea when we had a gas pains..I made bay leaf or fennel tea( strain it don't eat the seeds or leaves) for my babies(as per Grandma's instructions) when they were gassy..Worked like a charm..If It worked for Grandma's mom and all the way down the line..You do have to add some sugar before drinking it warm.

I still use it one in awhile.

I'd rather just eat an Italian sausage...

Fennel supplements definitely help me in that area.  I get capsules at Whole Foods.

As a ginger tea lover, I'm going to try the fennel tea.  I use Alka Seltzer for stomach issues and this would be more natural and tastier.  I'll brew it up and store in frig.

Does this help with stomach gas or with colon gas?

It helps with both yet mild enough to give it to a baby in a bottle just a little weaker.

I don't know about fennel seeds but I do know about ginger. We always have sliced ginger pieces rolled in sugar in the cupboard. It's great for degestion, stomach woes, upset tummy. I'll have a piece after dinner every night. It's good, it tastes good and it's a good end to dinner.

So you buy fennel teas and put boiling water over them to make tea?  

Thank you for your reply!

How many and how often do you take them?  Thanks.
