On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages: "You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!

The word detox always makes me wary I must say as it implies a cleaning out with some sort of stimulant which isn't good for IBS. Most HFS have a visiting naturopath and maybe they would explain more about the ingredients. Having said that I guess the only way to know for sure would be to try it and see how you go. If you do try it, I'd start with a small amount with a meal or SF snack rather than on an empty stomach. Let us know how you go with it.

Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Yeah, the word detox made me leery too.       #242979 - 01/31/06 06:55 AM Edit Reply Quote Augie Reged: 10/27/04 Posts: 5807 Loc: Illinois But it says it is safe for everyday use because there are no harsh laxatives. But this product is also made by the people who make Smooth Move (senna) which is not safe, even though it is natural. I've has this tea about 5 nights, and each morning I had a good BM..and none of the constant little, messy, incomplete BMS all day long. I feel better taking it...but that doesn't mean it's safe. I love the effects so far though...just wish I knew for certainty that it is safe. -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

(m)       #243045 - 01/31/06 09:09 AM Edit Reply Quote lalala Reged: 02/14/05 Posts: 2634 I looked up the ingredients to read about drug interactions. There haven't been many studies done on some of these herbs but some have been used for many years. HTH! schisandra fruit - has been used to treat IBS but information/studies have been contradictory; do not take with acetaminophen lycium - don't take with Warfarin; caffeine free gynostemma - don't take if pregnant; caffeine free kukicha - tea made from twigs from same plant green tea and black tea come from; very low in caffeine so it probably won't be a problem The rest of the ingredients are pretty common and safe: licorice ginger star anise Edited by Maria!Maria!

Thanks for taking the time to look all that up for me. I'm not pregnant, or breast feeding or taking acetaminophen or Warfarin. I didn't realize it had some caffeine in it though. So, you think this is okay to take? In your opinion? -------------------- ~ Beth Constipation, pain prodominent,cramps, spasms and bloat!

(Okay, edited now!)In my opinion, I think it would be okay to take. You've been taking it for almost a week, right and not having any negative reactions to it? I didn't find anything saying you would become dependent on it and I think the caffeine it contains is very, very low. I went to this site to check some of the herbs: LifeSource HealthNotes , which also provides research information and resources.
