Raspberry leaf tea - side effects?

[missrose0110]

Hi all,

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and started with 1 cup of raspberry leaf tea a day. Since I started a few days ago I have had THE WORST diarrhoea and sickness to the point I'm waking up in the night and running to the bathroom.

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it is the tea or if I have a bug and the tea has nothing to do with it.

Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't have thought the tea had anything to do with it. Especially just 1 cup per day. I know other ways to induce labour can cause diarrhoea but I've never heard raspberry leaf tea to be one of them.

I drank that tea from around 36 weeks onwards and was fine. But that's just my experience.

@HumunaHey my thought exactly, one cup of the tea couldn't cause this surely?

I'm wondering if I have a bug. Just wanted to ask if it possibly could be the tea as both started around the same time. Must be a coincidence!

Thanks for your reply x

I can experience an upset tummy after herbal tea. I do have IBS but often have the runs after drinking some (even the next morning)
