A member asked:

Could drinking many glasses of black tea daily be the primary cause of, or something that perpetuates my persistent gastritis/abdominal discomfort?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't overdo it...: Please enjoy green, white, or black tea at any time of the day or evening as a healthful beverage, with friends, over a good book, while relaxing, etc. As with anything, moderation is key--sounds like you may be overdoing the tea however. See other Healthtap answers regarding the risk of excessive intake of teas.
