    Hi DB, yes Fennel tea will make you wee like a racehorse! I was drinking gallons of the stuff when I was trying to get my milk back as italso aids milk production.

    Oooh. Ok, then that makes sense. I honestly just love the taste of the stuff and had no idea. I will watch the intake of it then

    LOL, good girl. Its ok every now and again I'm sure. Why don't you try cooking the bulb as a vegetable for the taste? Fennel is something I want to like but cannot quite, however hard I try. My only really wholehearted enjoy-way of having it is in a salad with orange segmants and very mild onion (I ind raw onion difficult too)...should of course be dressed with vigin olive oil, but you need not...

    Maybe take it when you are doing well eating o help? I don't know...

    but you can't expect doctors to really know all this stuff too....they are good, but they can't know everything. Your dietitian should know. :)

    I've never tried it as a vegetable, but have been craving roasted veg lately and heard of people putting it in that so might give that a whirl. And with a salad. If I cant manage olive oil now, I certainly will be using it soon!

    :)

    I don't do raw onion, my stomach hates me for it if I try!

    I'm to tired to go and read all of the posts, I did have a brief scan and...
    The cut out dress is awful, and what a strange tan line you'd get!
    I like the cardis PF, love heart prints but don't know if I'm too old for full on girly.
    Lovely dress, the blue floral one.
    TBTS - Hope your investigation wasn't too horrible, I never had one but it sounds awful. At least it's over now.
    I'm still not sure if I'm going to be in a fit state to meet my friends in the morning, my lip is visibly throbbing, If I do go out do you think it would be polite to take my own cup?
