Constipation = no tea?
Not really sure if this is TMI enough, but I have a question regarding tea and constipation.
I suffer from chronic constipation. I know I should avoid black tea, but I just discovered that Walmart (boo hiss, I know) sells Twinnings and I went ahead and bought the Earl Grey and English Breakfast. Is there a way for me to be able to enjoy these delicious teas without making myself want to cry on the toilet a day later? Would limiting myself to one cup of tea and making myself drink two bottles of water (68oz total) a day help? I also take an acidophilus probiotic and I also eat a lot of fiber, if that makes a difference.
