I drink a lot if peppermint tea since I was diagnosed with diverticulitis. Diverticulosis is pretty common I believe ( little pockets that develop in the lower bowel and become inflamed) and it causes lower stomach and back pain. Constipation makes it worse but diarrhoea often trigger inflammation so eating enough fibre is crucial. I had developed acid reflux so was given PPIs which really mucked up my digestive system and I got awful wind and diarrhoea so peppermint tea really helped. I stopped having any caffiene and fruit juices and eat small meals regularly through the day. If I eat stodgy foods like pasta or get tempted to eat too much at once then I get a flare up of the diverticulitis.
I think it's about being disciplined with your diet and also getting enough exercise to keep the digestive system working well. DG x

I have always been a ‘windy' person! So started drinking peppermint tea years ago. I drink around 4 mugs a day. I think it helps with digestion as if I'm out for a meal and don't have peppermint tea after eating then I really notice how uncomfortable I feel.

When I had heart burn after breast surgery the Nurse gave me peppermint tea in the early hours of the morning but she wouldn't share her receipe  but it did the trick!  Wasn't too much like toothpaste

I too drink decaf coffee but a lot of hot water and peppermint tea too. I find it is a good tummy settler and if out for a meal always finish with it

Agree it's very good also agree it's yuk😂.I seem to have gotten used to it now and it's more acceptable but I can't take without just 1 spoon of sugar.Ive came across a new probiotic. I just can't get on with the multiple strains type.this one is amazing it's called alflorex and works in a completely different way,Have a look on Amazon.very costly but who cares if it works, I especially needed it on the triple therapy treatment for my gut so I'm happy to pay that if it works and.for me it has.
Good luck with your tea hope it helps you.😘D.D

I find peppermint tea is great after a meal to help digestion. If I've had a stodgy meal it helps get rid of the over full feeling, and if I've had a healthy, light veggie meal it helps with the windy feeling   

For those that find peppermint tea too toothpasty, I've just discovered peppermint and licorice tea which has much the same beneficial effect. Aldi do a good one which is in their posh range in the black boxes (can't remember what it's called but the equivalent to Sainsbury's Taste the Difference but a fraction of the cost). If feeling flush, teapigs also do a peppermint and licorice but as well as being much more expensive it's quite sweet.

For me tea is the answer to most problems...

I drink peppermint tea - after a bad bout of indigestion and acid reflux I added it to my daily beverage and now I love it !

I believe it really settles my tum
