it works terrific. But it is a gastric irritant and should be used only once in a great while. Should not be used for maintenance.

It's active ingredient is senna leaves. Senna contains chemicals called sennosides. Sennosides irritate the lining of the bowel, which causes the laxative effect.

Not sure irritating the lining of your gut is entirely wise after weight loss surgery long term. It's unclear whether its irritation could harm your incision margins. It is not recommended for people with ulcerative colitis.

I have tried Smooth Move tea and found it very effective.....but because of it's route of action, I would use some caution about using it too often.

Stuff is no joke. Been up for past two hours with stomach cramps. Ugh

Every so often with caution .... you can say that again!

Keep getting your fluids in and keep moving. Doesn't matter whether it's inside or outside but walking is a really good exercise to do.😛

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
