Gunpowder Green Tea Cause Nausea and Diarrhea?

by Laura
(Bolton, England)

On Sunday I decided to try Gunpowder green tea at a cafe. I wanted to go for the healthiest option.

The tea didn't look that green in colour when poured out but I drank it anyway.

I was given a medium sized teapot and I drank it all. Shortly after I experienced nausea and today (2 days later) I have diarrhea.

I was wondering if gunpowder green tea has done this to anyone else?

Answer:

Laura, green tea does sometimes cause stomach problems as you have described.

Green Tea and Stomach Gastric Irritation - Indigestion and Heart Burn

However, it seems unlikely to me it can still result in stomach upset 2 days later.

My two cents.

Hi!

I had the same problem with Diarrhea with japanese teas. (also days later)

Just try different sorts of tea and you will find yours. The biggest differeces i guess are between japanese (steamed) and chinese (pan-roasted) teas...
