Fennel Tea Helps
- Fennel tea, which can be bought at health food stores, is great for relieving gas and bloating. Also... some people are allergic to dairy products. You can stop the bloating before it starts by avoiding these foods. You can try going without dairy for about a week, and then when you re-introduce it into your diet, you'll see whether that was the cause of your discomfort.
