10 Graceful Ways To Deal With IBS

8. Try Hot Tea For Constipation

Laxatives are a dangerous way to deal with constipation as they cause more irritation to the digestive system. Hot tea, especially caffeinated teas such as black tea or green tea, is soothing on the stomach, allowing the gastrointestinal tract to relax and eliminate fecal matter with ease. Caffeine intake should be limited to one or two cups each day as this can be an irritant on the digestive tract. If caffeine is bothersome, try hot water with lemon as this is equally as soothing and the lemon acts as a cleansing agent.
