Dandelion Root Tea

Postby hilldk » Fri Aug 10, 2007 9:20 am

Have any of you tried dandelion root tea to promote good bacteria growth? I read about it in Prevention and wondered if anyone had tried it.

I'm tapering off Questran--when I go 3 days off, I have diarrhea then normal then diarrhea. I'm going to give up and call my doctor next week to get a stool sample tested. I've been on Questran only since the end of March and had no real problems, but I just can't get off of it completely. I'm wondering if it's IBS.

I may at least try the dandelion root tea--at this point, I still need all the good bacteria I can find.

hilldk,
Never hard of dadelion root tea. Probably worth a "shot"but think I'd check with someone knowledgeable at your local health food store & your doc. Also check Andrew Weil's website. It's listed in FAQ under Alternative Medicine.
