Question:
Could you please explain the hot tea trick? is it simply drinking hot tea?

Yes - drinking anything hot/warm will help everything relax and loosen up. The program at my hospital said we can also mix 1/4 teaspoon of meat tenderizer in a glass of warm water and drink that to help food thats stuck.

Monika: I'm not sure what the "hot tea trick" is but I do know that I have grown to love Celestial Seasonings Peppermint Tea w/ a packet of Splenda. I have my cup of tea each morning (replaces the former cup of java habit). I will occasionally have another cup of peppermint tea at night if I feel something is kind of stuck. The peppermint tea is caffeine free and very soothing to the tummy :) Good Luck - Anna LAP RNY 7/3/02 -40lbs.
