Milk tea

Hi Rei,

I am so glad to hear that in general things have been well with you! Great news! :)

I have had the experience you describe before...feeling fine, and then something you eat or drink triggers some symptoms....and it brings back the familiar challenges...:/

Its hard to say what exactly disagreed with you. For me, green tea can be really activating. I can drink coffee without a problem, but sometimes green tea will make me jittery. Maybe it's simply the amount. If I get an iced green tea like you had....I tend to get a large, and drink it pretty fast....as opposed to a cup or two of coffee over a much longer period of time.

It could also be as you said, another factor such as the dairy, or high sugar content of the drink...?

Keeping a food diary should help you to pinpoint any recurring triggers and avoid them in the future. Of course this could just be a one time issue as well...maybe your stomach was empty, or you were fatigued...which just helped the anxiety get a foothold....you may not have another problem again with the same drink in the future...

I hope you are feeling better soon, and that the remainder of your day/weekend is calm and fun.:)

Some milk teas can have high caffeine, so it could be that for sure! Drink some water and it should be out of your system within 12 hours. You'll feel back on top soon! :D

R.,

Wow...sorry you had a prolonged reaction like that. ..

...but now that you know it's on the list of troublesome foods...at least you know to avoid it.

Peace and progress,
