TEA Consumers

Asking for ideas on tea consumption

I stopped coffee a few years back

I stopped decaf Earl Grey this year

I was surprised how hard detoxing from decaf was

I love tea but really hit a crossroads because I have IBS

Besides chamomile, and peppermint

I want to find an easy blend with no caffeine that is not invasive to IBS lol

Any idea tea drinkers?
I need some coaching )

High five for discontinuing coffee and Earl Gray!

Herbal teas don't have caffeine and there are many flavors. As far as what will not bother your IBS, everyone is different so you'll have to see what works for you.

My fav is Night Time Happy Belly. I purchase it from Amazon. It is an herbal tea.

You can good decaf teas at Elmwood Tea, Tea Forte has a huge selection, Upton Teas (loose leaf--get a tea mug with a stainless filter in it or teapot), and others.

Good luck! Also Sam's carries some decaf teas--green and black--for a good price! Bagged, tagged and ready to brew!

Hibiscus ginger herbal tea.

An estimated 700,000 people around the world, 400,000 of them children, have died so far due to the discontinuation of the USAID program.

@katie1859 For many years, I have been buying Celestial Seasonings teas. They are all herbal teas in many different flavor combinations. No artificial flavors.

Since they don't contain black tea, there is no caffeine.

I can't drink black tea because it is high in oxalates and I am prone to kidney stones.

Mandarin Orange Spice is one of my favorites. Their

Sleepytime Mint, Black Cherry Berry and Tangerine Orange

are very good. They also have wellness teas.

It is a matter of your personal taste. You can view their online website to see the many varieties. You can look at the ingredients to determine if they might contain something that could upset your stomach. First, I would find out which herbs may irritate IBS, to make sure none of those are in the herb tea blends.

I think that you can even get packages of assorted flavors so you don't need to purchase a whole box to find something that you like.

I have to ask about what the problem was concerning detoxing from decaf. Did you specifically mean Earl Grey decaf? Or decaf coffee? What happened?

I just ordered decaf Earl Grey in loose tea and tea bags

along with other gift items from Harney & Sons for my son's birthday.

He drinks coffee in the morning and sometimes he will

drink Earl Grey tea.

When he visited me on Mother's Day, he was telling me about the tea and mentioned that he wanted to get some decaf Harney & Sons Earl Grey. I was thinking that he probably wanted decaf because he may drink the tea after work and he needs to get up at about five in the morning for his long commute to work and doesn't want caffeine to interfere with his sleep. I don't think that it is something he drinks every day,

maybe just occasionally or weekends.

So, I ordered the tea for his birthday in June. He has had IBS problems but seems to be okay now.

Was your problem from drinking decaf tea or maybe the bergomot in Earl Grey? Did you drink it every day?

I would hate to give him something that would cause him problems. Thanks for any suggestions.

P.S. My precious Maine Coon is named Katie, such a sweet girl.

I just started exploring a new tea, it's from Full Leaf Tead Company, we just started drinking their anti-inflammatory tea. It's loose leaf and I have to admit that I was not prepared for that, had to find my french press. I like the tea but have no idea if it will help as of yet.
