Should I have more food in my belly when I have my morning tea? As in, more than just cereal?
About 30 mins into my tea I feel really sick.... I never actually get sick but obviously I stop drinking the tea, so maybe I would get sick if I continued drinking?

Anyone else???

I really want to keep drinking it because I think its really good and the benefits are awesome. What gives?

    YES! I thought I was the only one. I find it's worse if I'm hungry when I drink it. Sometimes I feel OK but sometimes it makes me feel really ill.

    No, I love it! LOL However, I like the real thing, the type that you make with Japanese green tea powder, I can't stand the English teabags!

    Yes, It always makes me stomach ache for sure. I wish I could drink it but I can't so i stick with herbal teas especially peppermint.

    I find it eases my stomach and calms me down after a stressful day. But I usually drink it on an empty stomach.

    I only buy Japanese matcha powder and I love anything with matcha in it, especially ice cream! I even mix in cacao powder with it for protein smoothies sometimes.

    I drink 16 OZ of it first thing in the morning and I don't ever get sick feeling. I drink mine cold. I use Biglow brand in the big box you buy at SAM's Club.

    Yup...almost every time!! Food or no food in my belly. The only time I dont feel unwell is when I have it at a Japanese restaraunt...it's weird.

    Hmm so maybe matcha is the way to go?!
    I've had it in starbuck's iced green tea lattes and it's delicious!

    I am on the same boat!!! Had to completely stop drinking it on an empty stomach because it actually made me throw up on a number of occasions.

    I can't stand green tea, or really any kind of tea for that matter. If anything made me feel ill, I just wouldn't eat or drink it. Simple as that!

    I drink the bright tea co. Green tea with jazmine and it settles my stomach more than anything.

    yes! I also feel my body temp go up, although I think the thermogenic effect is good as it speeds up the metabolism - but I still don't like the effect it has on me & I rarely drink it.

    No, but coffee makes me nauseous. It must just be the combination of it and you.

    YES! I thought I was the only one also! I can drink it during the day or evening with no problems, but in the mornings (food or not) it makes me very nauseous. I don't know why, but I do avoid it and all teas in the mornings because of it.

    It could be that you may be brewing/steeping it too long. I can take my black tea pretty damn strong, but if I pass that limit, and don't have enough food in my stomach. Feel totally amazingly horrid.

    Try cutting back maybe by a minute or so and see if it improves for you.

    I didn't think I could drink green tea either. Lipton green tea makes me feel ill. Twinnings is great though. Might just be the type of green tea you are drinking.

    YES! I have tried and tried, for it's health benefits. I have started adding a couple of bags of green tea to my ice tea ratio. Its about the only way I can handle it.

    Same here. I use the Stash Organic Decaf. I drink it all day long (iced) and don't have any problems. I too love the stuff so much I have it on auto ship from Amazon so I never run out. :-)

    Green tea ALWAYS makes me nauseous on an empty stomach! And I have been drinking it for years. I have actually thrown up! Even if it's later in the afternoon and I drink it on an empty stomach it makes me very nauseous. I have just try to adjust. Even sometimes I think my stomach is full enough and it still makes me sick. But, I like you, I keep drinking bc of the benefits.
