Yesterday, I brewed up a cup of Passion tea. I'd never had it before & it was delicious. I decided to brew/drink more later in the day. At my second cup I thought that it was something LO might like so I began looking up the safety of the ingredients, only to discover that hibiscus is a laxative. I am so paying for it today, like I didn't make it to the bathroom this morning kind of paying for it. You've been warned!

That's really shitty. Thanks for the warning

@Reese: hahahahaha
-
@Reese: haha! No problem

@Mrs. Sunshine: I didn't know that! I realllllly like passion tea, but I only ever get it from Starbucks. Probably not enough for a laxative effect!
Good to keep in mind for LO though haha! -
Good to know, but I dislike most herbal teas because I hate the flavor of hibiscus!
-
Didn't know. Good to know though.

Interesting, I drink it from time to time at home and it's one of my go-to's at Starbucks. I'll have to see next time if I notice any effects.
-
hehe! I used to drink it all the time, but never noticed any effects of that sort :). I like the taste!
-
It passed pretty quickly, thank god. But I have never pooped my pants before so it had to have been the tea! lol
-
Wow, I love that tea but I haven't ever noticed a laxative effect. I'll pay more attention next time I have it!
-
Thanks for the warning!
-
@Mrs. Sunshine: you poor thing! i'm so sorry! thanks for the heads up
-
Interesting! I looked it up when I was pregnant and saw that it was advised to be avoided, but I didn't know why! Yikes!
