A member asked:

Why does tea cause some people stomach cramps?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tea...: Stomach cramping related to tea or coffee is usually due to caffeine intake which can stimulate the gut... That is why most people feel like having a bowel movement after their morning cup of joe!
