Sounds like it should be fine but I believe that Lipton products have High Fructose corn syrup in them. For me, I can't have that stuff. Might want to check on it.

Yes, it's fine and really good. I buy mine at the HFS, but another poster said you can get it in the regular supermarket. the decaf that is.

"The problem is, it isn't a single food that causes Irritable Bowel Syndrome symptoms. It's ANY food that is high in fat, insoluble fiber, caffeine, coffee (even decaf), carbonation, or alcohol. Why? Because all of these food categories are either GI stimulants or irritants, and can cause violent reactions of your gastrocolic reflex. This directly affects the muscles in your colon and can lead to pain, constipation AND diarrhea, gas, and bloating.
In fact, the happy truth is that eating safely for Irritable Bowel Syndrome does not mean deprivation, never going to restaurants, bland food, or an unhealthily limited diet. Nor does it mean living on "rabbit food" available exclusively at health food stores, or following brutal elimination diets, or keeping endless food diaries for the rest of your life."
oops! I'm sorry decaf. teas are safe??
