Whoa, be careful here!       06/04/03 03:06 PM Edit Reply Quote Heather Reged: 12/09/02 Posts: 7799 Loc: Seattle, WA These teas are laxatives - they usually contain senna. They are not gentle on the GI tract, and they can cause bowel dependency. Try fennel tea to ease the bloating, and try to walk around and be as active as possible. Fibercon should not cause constipation (it's actually approved by the FDA as a laxative, though it's technically not as it is just fiber). Did you drink enough water? Hang in there, we'll figure this out and get you feeling better. - Heather -------------------- Heather is the Administrator of the IBS Message Boards.
