Why does green tea upset my stomach?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
See below: Green tea has caffeine and tannins; either of these could cause gut upset. I would avoid drinking it in the future.

Agree w Dr. Ho: Additionally - if you drink too much (especially too much green tea extract) it can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea & abdominal cramps.
