  Are you taking green tea as a therapudic? I work in clinical trials and there has been no proof that green tea does anything at all. Except make you pee.

  Its a diuretic and you will have to pee more often, thats normal.

  But I have never suffered constipation from drinking green tea, and I never heard of that being a side effect of it. Stop drinking it for a little while and see if your stomach feels better. If not, then something else is causing your stomach problems.

  If you have a sensitive stomach, Green Tea may cause acid stomach, stomach irritation, and poor appetite. Intake of large quantities can lead to constipation or diarrhea. Adding milk to the tea will usually eliminate these side effects by reducing the potency of the tannins.

  Doses of 300 milligrams of caffeine (about 5 cups of tea) can cause restlessness, tremors, and exaggerated reflexes. The first signs of outright poisoning are vomiting and abdominal spasms.
  It's impossible to drink enough tea to be fatal. However, regular daily intake of excessive doses (1,500 milligrams of caffeine, or 25 cups of tea) will result in irritability, sleeplessness, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and headache.

  I would cut back to one cup a day or even one cup every other day or until your bowl movements are more regular.

  Constipation can not be happened when you have green tea.
  I drink it every day and I have no problem.
  But, I can not drink black tea at all cuz it make me constipated.
