There really needs to be a warning on the box for this stuff. I have been in excruciating pain for 14 hours from drinking one cup of this tea. The worst part is that it did not cause me to have a bowel movement (which is the whole reason I took the tea). Finally after 14 hours of the most debilitating stomach cramps I have ever experienced, the pain subsided. Still not having had a bowel movement, I went to the grocery store, bought a Fleet enema and that worked for me immediately. I strongly advice anyone to try a Fleet enema before torturing yourself with this stuff. I have chronic gastritis and I thought this would be ok because the box states that it provides "gentle" relief. I just did some research only to find that you are not supposed to take this tea if you have anything such as gastritis, IBS etc. It seriously felt as if I had poisoned myself. The box even states children can take it...Please do not give this to a child!
