I've had problems with irritable bowel syndrome ever since my kidneys began to fail. I get very sick when I become nervous or exert too much energy. I stopped trying to build a lawn pond for almost two years because there was a big stump right in the middle of the area I started to dig in. I didn't have a chainsaw, but I do now. I decided to work on it, even if it was only a little bit at a time. Yesterday I went to a friends house to get some sandstones at his farm. He and I loaded them up. I got really sick as usual. He looked up an article on the computer about using Chamomile herbal tea for relief of IBS. I got some and drank several cups last night. I had a cup for breakfast instead of the usual coffee and one for lunch. Today I cut off the stump, finished digging the hole, put down the liner, filled the pond with water, and loaded all the sandstone all around the edge of the pond. I have the pump going and put in a couple dozen goldfish. At last!!! This is more than I've been able to do at one time in a long time. I got tired, but not sick. I have a prescription for this but it only helps a little. The tea seems to work. Have any of you experienced anything like this? I plan to drink a cup at least three times a day. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif
