Re: Mate' and diarhea
Tue, May 31, 2005 - 12:26 AMThe problem isn't that you are drinking to much mate, the problem is that you don't drink enogh. What mate does, is to clean your body, thats why the shiting part ocurred, then if you don't stop drinking, you body gets clean and the diarhea stops and you will feel more relax and stable. Just make sure you don't stop drinking it! Let your body get clean.

Re: Mate' and diarhea
Tue, June 21, 2005 - 12:11 PMThe shakes??? This sounds like more of a caffine problem.
I too have this diarhea mate issue lately. I find your theorey facinating. Where did you hear of this cleansing?
I'll report back if I get past the runs with prolonged and excessive use.
I used to drink by the bucket but then got into a few weeks on a few off kinda routine. -

Re: Mate' and diarhea

Re: Mate' and diarhea
Sat, July 23, 2005 - 9:13 AMI'm not sure how much you drink, but perhaps you should eat something aswell?
Apples are great for preventing diarrea, gets some fibers in there.

Re: Mate' and diarhea
Fri, July 14, 2006 - 11:27 AMIt could have alot to do with the brand mate, sugar used and also the water used. just a thought...perhaps if we all posted with a little more info. we could come up with a general idea of true cause for diarrhea.

Re: Mate' and diarhea
Fri, July 14, 2006 - 1:57 PMcome on now. We all know that mate loosens the stools. I'm not sure if the brand of mate or anything else has to do with getting the runs. After a stiff 'gourd' or two, I'd be certain everyone of us would mount 'the' porcelain. Sometimes I get the runs. Other times not...but it always presents itself as an emergency!!!
If you're getting the runs like you're really getting the runs, theres probably diet issues, which when coupled with stiff caffeine intake purges the bowles in a no no sort of way.

Re: Mate' and diarhea
Sat, July 15, 2006 - 10:24 AMYour body will get used to it and it'll stop. do not drink on an empy stomach in the meantime.
Heat the water to 92 degrees celsius, cold mate will give you more diarhea and mate with boiled wter is not worth drinking.

sticky, runny, drippy, gooey, stinkey poops...
Mon, July 17, 2006 - 12:26 AMLots of water with those super strong mate doses.
Pulpy fruit to absorb...
To keep that euphoric mate high going.
Instead of that nervous tension crash...

Re: sticky, runny, drippy, gooey, stinkey poops...
Mon, October 2, 2006 - 1:18 PMI Googled Yerba Mate and Diarreha and found your postings. I've got 2 different kinds of Mate:
1. Rei Verde (it's from Brazil...super strong and GIVES ME DIARREHA!!!)
2. Mendo Mate. THis stuff is amazing. Just enough punch and not too harsh on the body.
I have a sensitive stomach to begin with...and have come to the conclusion that really strong Yerba Mate screws with my system. Good to know i'm not alone, though. ;-)

Re: sticky, runny, drippy, gooey, stinkey poops...
Sun, October 8, 2006 - 8:42 PMOk you need to get a hold of Cachamate. It is a mix of argentinean yerba mate and herbs, that will make you feel great -

Re: sticky, runny, drippy, gooey, stinkey poops...
Mon, October 9, 2006 - 6:39 AMAn untreated or badly treated gourd can really mess up your system, specially if your are not use to that pretty nasty bitter flavor and weird juice. This could explain the shiets! -

Re: sticky, runny, drippy, gooey, stinkey poops...
Mon, October 9, 2006 - 9:47 AMhonestly, is their any benifts to using a gourd, besides the fact that they look cool? -

Re: sticky, runny, drippy, gooey, stinkey poops...

Re: Mate' and diarhea
Sat, November 18, 2006 - 4:55 PMMate cold is used as a laxative in argentina so it could be that it's not hot enough, likewise terrere hot has the same affect. I would try a different brand and looking into to what kind of yerba you actually have. -

Re: Mate' and diarhea
Mon, December 4, 2006 - 6:41 PMthis tribe is extremely strange.
its totally dead
that is, until someone mentions diarhea
then all us manic mate' folks get all riled up
anywho, my 2 cents is that its probably the brand
and if so, the mate' is less ritch in vitamins and minerals
all dried up n' stuff, and more dense with caffine... if that makes sense
but i'm sure by now the hypothesis has been reached and conclusion in near.
peace
