Peppermint tea and Flatulence?

I've just discovered the wonderful taste of peppermint tea, but about the same time as I started drinking it daily, I also developed uncontrollable farting. Very stinky farts too. All day long. I read that peppermint is used to relieve flatulence and bloating (a href="http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/peppermint-000269.htm" rel="nofollow"http://www.umm.edu/altmed/articles/peppe…/a ) by relaxing muscles in my digestive tract and allowing the gases in there p out, but would it actually increase farting just to get rid of those gases? Or is it something else that is making me fart so much suddenly?
