Ballerina Tea: A Helpful Tip for Colostomy Bowel Movements

Just a little tip for those of you with a colostomy. I was told by someone that Ballerina tea would help me with my bowel movement. Let me tell you it really works, just have a cup a day or every other day. I was taking miralax for the longest time and it was ok but this tea really does the trick. it's hard to find I bought mine in an asian market.

Interesting!  What is it?  (I irrigate so I don't have a problem, but my Mom could use a break from Miralax).

I do not have a problem and do not need that type of tea. I was nosey what the tea is so I looked it up on the internet and found that it is made up chinese mallow (which I don't reconise) and senna. Here in my country senna leaf tea is a well kown laxative.

we talked at one yime lets talk again

Never heard of Ballerina tea over here, wonder if it's the same as green tea, haven't tried that but it's getting popular, think my hernia was caused by the dog pulling on the lead, but the doc doesn't want to operate on me any more and says the mesh gets infected and causes more trouble than leaving things alone unless the stoma becomes blocked and then in my case,it would be an emergency.

Had one blockage but managed to clear it by stopping eating and drinking a lot of fluids, then eventually out popped a small sliver of mushroom!- keep well.
