Pages: 1 Tea causes gallstones?       #104172 - 09/06/04 07:11 PM Edit Reply Quote Lauriea Reged: 08/18/04 Posts: 35 Is it true that tea causes gallstones? If so what are the facts? I absolutely live on mint tea as it helps relieve my spasms. If anyone else takes Citrucel powder what have you found to be the best way to take it and the most effective dose. Thanks for all of your input!

Although the herbal variety should be safe as it's not actually tea.

I take 1 large scoop full. Seems to work very well for me. I've also had my gallbladder removed yrs ago due to gallstones. I've never been a big tea drinker. Now I do drink Heather's peppermint tea. -------------------- -----Marilyn----- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Yep - herbal teas are not the same thing as "real" tea. -nt-       #104362 - 09/07/04 06:50 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.

Homebrewed. Then my galbladder went bad then I filled with kidney stones. I should say crystals. My surgon said no more Iced tea. I stopped drinking it and had my galbladder removed and my kidney pain stopped. Sure I have a glass now and then but thats it. The kidney stones were worse than any broken bone I have ever had. Now I drink water. LOTS OF WATER. Good luck, Derek -------------------- IBS -D since about 1984. Its stress not food that kills me! Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Pages: 1
