my stomach has been upset all day and I was wondering if I was allowed to have peppermint tea to calm down my belly? would it be alright or should I stay away??

You should be fine with the tea, just don't load it with sugar or honey. Peppermint tea is normally decaf so we are allowed to have it.

As long as its sugar free its fine.  Although I hate mint and can't imagine it in anything.

Peppermint tea is fine.  By itself, it has no sugar so it will not cause dumping.  If you add a lot of sugar to it, then you might dump.

As long as you tolerate Splenda, you can put as much Splenda as you want in it.  You won't dump on Splenda since Splenda has no sugar in it.
