It probably has Senna or Cascara Sagrada in it which is not good for IBS.

Yes, I believe it has Senna. I remember a doctor recommending a Sennakot supplement for me years ago (it was awful). Why is senna bad for IBS?

Senna is a laxative and they're not good for IBSers.

I'm confused; Being an IBS-Cer, I definitely depend on laxatives! Is there something in particular about Senna that's bad?

Any laxitive is bad for IBSers. It may give you temporary relief but in the long run it will cause you more problems with your IBS. Laxatives are harsh stimulants and your bowel becomes dependent on them.

Actually, yes, I think it does. Especially if I drink it right after a meal. Unfortunately, it's a bit more expensive than Heather's teas...
