Camomile tea
Chamomile tea intolerance is a condition where individuals experience difficulty digesting chamomile tea, an herbal infusion made from dried chamomile flowers, leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This differs from a chamomile tea allergy, which involves an immune system response and can cause more severe reactions.

Description
Chamomile tea intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process compounds in chamomile tea, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This is a non-immune response, unlike a chamomile tea allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in chamomile, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Chamomile tea intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.
- Bloating and gas
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Nausea
- Indigestion
- Headaches
If you consistently experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after consuming chamomile tea, it may be wise to consider a test for chamomile tea intolerance. This is particularly important if these symptoms disrupt your daily activities or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as it could be indicative of other dietary sensitivities or health issues.
Managing chamomile tea intolerance involves avoiding or limiting chamomile tea in your diet. Since chamomile tea is known for its calming properties and is often consumed for relaxation, it’s important to seek alternative herbal teas that do not cause discomfort. There are numerous herbal teas available, such as peppermint or ginger tea, which may provide similar soothing effects. Consulting with a dietitian can help ensure a balanced diet while avoiding chamomile tea. Keeping a food diary can be beneficial in identifying other potential food intolerances and in tracking dietary adjustments.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
