It's definitely not constipation.

There's a whole list of medications you shouldn't use the tea with, including blood thinners, but I use no other medications. I do use olive leaf which is another herb you cannot take with a blood thinner, but I have not had that response with it. It's only with the green tea. Sure is a mystery to me.

Constipation and a blockage would be my first guess (sm)
Not sure if you're wanting a diagnosis, I'm not a doctor obviously but he can try using a laxative like Miralax or magnesium sulfate if he hasn't had a good big BM in a few days. If he has, then I'd suggest he schedule an appointment with his regualr doctor or a GI doctor asap because it could be diverticulitis (which could lead to ruptured intestine/colon) or a malignancy.
Seriously, if there's a convenient care clinic around, can you get him to go there? If he's having pain, he needs to go to the ER and wait. It could potentially be life threatening!
Interesting! Fiber is used in constipation and diarrhea situations, which I always thought was
