The tea I am drinking is Organic Ginger Aid by Traditional Medicinals and it also has Blackberry leaf, Stevia leaf and Lemon Myrtle leaf in it. Are those o.k. or could they be triggers? Is it normal to have a little irritation in the throat after drinking it? Would the ginger capsules do the same thing? Please let me know and thanks again for giving us hope and support. -Mara -------------------- Hope springs eternal.

Ginger is quite spicy so that is what I think causes that feeling. It's not harmful though, and I also find ginger tea to be very soothing on the tummy. Try rinsing your mouth after drinking the tea to get rid of the feeling. Ginger caps haven't caused any mouth/throat problems for me, so they're worth trying. However I find the tea better still, it acts faster and the heat and liquid help a lot too. -------------------- Kat Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Yes - and they should be helpful. -nt-       #293069 - 12/10/06 11:50 AM Edit Reply Quote Quietseraph Reged: 12/05/06 Posts: 24 Thanks for the tip Kat I will try rinsing my mouth afterwards as the ginger tea seems to help immediately when I feel bloated. -Mara -------------------- Hope springs eternal.
