Oh Dear!

Marjo, I've never heard of half those herbs in that tea, so I can't comment except to say this: if you've ruled out everything else, then I guess it's gotta be the tea.

However, I'm also a D person, and I had an attack like yours when I increased my SFS too much. I was at the maximum dosage, didn't realize it, and was increasing even MORE! Oh, I had BIG D and urgency and almost didn't make it. (Sorry you didn't; I can imagine how horrible that was for you!)

How much SFS are you taking, and have you just increased your dosage? Try dropping back a little on it and see if you don't do better. When I dropped back on my dosage, all the symptoms disappeared entirely.

And God bless Lomotil! (I know nothing about Levsin.) Have you considered Heather's peppermint caps as an anti-spasmodic? (I take Hyoscyamine, and, when it's really bad, I pull out the Big Gun: Donnatal! )

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Bev
