Tea or anything with caffeine for that matter is a diuretic. Anything like that will make you go to the bathroom more often than if you drank something without caffeine. I do that too so I drink the decaf tea. Tastes the same to me.

It's the caffine. It's listed in this link along with other foods/products. That's why when people have their coffee in the morning, not only the coffee, but the caffine as well, help them go. It's worse though for people with IBS.

It also recommends a change in diet and exercise. Perhaps you should try one or both of those?

Not a laxative as such but in large quantities (and I do mean large, say in excess of 15-20 cups a day) it can act as a dierhetic (similar end effect as a laxative).

dieter's tea is a laxative. It cleans you out and flattens your tummy

yes it acts like a laxative because there is caffine, like coffee.

i'm pretty sure that anything with a high amt of caffiene can act as a laxative if you consume high amts of it.
