Dear Sweta,

 

I'm really glad you shared this information, even thought it came from a

site on recreational drugs. When I read the benefits of Yerbe Mate, one of the

most prominent ones was to aid with gastrointestinal problems. I don't know

how many of you know of my chronic illnesses, but one of them is IBS with

severe Gastritis. I get outrageous bloating (I say outrageous because sometimes

I

look like I'm nine months pregnant, and I find myself acting like a pregnant

woman ... favoring my back, lowering myself onto the couch very gingerly,

etc.) From what I read Yerbe Mate was given high marks in helping out with all

sorts of gi problems. I'm going to find out right away if our local health

food store carries it. Again, Sweta, thank you. Hugs ~ Linda
