It works, but I suggest you use one and wait. I wouldn't take it 2 days in a row as I got diarhea. Did you? It works 5 out of 5 stars.
Taylor - 1 month ago. I love this tea for occasional constipation. I cannot drink it before bed, it works almost immediately for me. I do get the cramping side effect from this. I suggest drinking this while you have easy access to a toilet, and starting off with just a half a cup. It definitely works. Dont let it steep for longer than recommended 5 out of 5 stars.
