I drank some (Decaf) green tea yesterday and it didn't make me feel too good....I don't know why......????

I am looking for another tea besides chamomile that helps calm my system without making me feel "puky".

Maybe I should just stick with flat ginger ale for a little while and give my body an "herbal break" and see what happens. I have been drinking herbal tea every single day since the night of my colonoscopy prep, which was what.....November 8th. I never drank herbal tea until that day and now I'm hooked! I'm addicted to this chamomile tea and I cannot take the headache's anymore. The tetley chamomile tea that Nelly recommended is the best chamomile tea. I can even drink 1 cup of it without getting a headache....but anymore than that and I have a migraine. I cannot take these antihistimines anymore. They make me sick. I looked up antihistimines on the net and most of the drug profiles say that they should be taken with food because they can cause gastrointestinal distress but it seems like I'm the only one that gets an upset stomach from taking Benadryl!!! Why is that????

Anyway, I haven't tried Red Raspberry leaf. Does it give you a headache?? Do any of the herbal teas give you a headache??

I think I'm okay with Stevia. It doesn't seem to bother me. I like "HOT" anything when I feel sick. That's strange that "hot" stuff makes you feel worse.....it calms my system and moves things through my stomach quicker than if I drink anything cold. Cold stuff sends my tummy into an instant attack! Iced anything and I'm done!!! LOL!!

Okay, I don't know what to do. I'm going to go grab some flat ginger ale. I cannot believe I have to sit here and DEBATE what I can and cannot drink.....I'm thirsty and don't know what I can drink without getting sick! This is insane!!! I should just go grab a beer and be done with it! Maybe not!! Like you...Barf City!! Bleh!!!

Peppermint used to be my favorite. I used to drink peppermint tea all day.....UNTIL it triggered my reflux! Now, I can't go near it! It makes me so depressed!! Peppermint really, really helped my IBS soo much. I have been suffering ever since I had to quit drinking it.

This sucks!! I just don't know what to do!?!?
