Does anyone know why my tummy swells like mad when drinking a cup of tea? Only drink normal tea but sometimes makes me so bloated, can,t do without a cuppa! {cry}

Have no more than 3 a day. :-D

This could get a bit personal...........bloating is usually associated with a sluggish bowel and anything with caffeine in can exagerate the problem. You could try drinking fennel/peppermint/chamomile teas

I would try drinking decaff tea for a while and see how you get on with it. I've been drinking it for years and can't tell the difference in taste.

I switched from "normal" tea and coffee years ago and was also expecting headaches! Nothing though! It's all in the mind you know! :-D

Chocolate on the other hand is an absolute must! Gives me headaches if I can't have any {rofwl}

I didn't get headaches either. Switched over completely.

No headaches here either ,I did ( some time ago ) sip lots of coke for a tickly cough ,until I found I couldn't sleep ,so I went cold turkey ,had the shakes and eddache like no tomorrow ,but stuck with it ,only lasted a couple of days .But now I avoid all caffine and feel much better for it :-D

I don't think you would get withdrawal symptoms just from 3 cups a day.
I changed from 3 cups a day to 2 redbush and one decaf because I had heart palpitations, and noticed that I didn't have to visit the little girls' room so often :oops:
