Going off tea???
« on: May 01, 2020, 11:40:51 AM »

Hi

I have had a lot of gastric problems in the last year (well documented on here!).  but since the latest episode, I've found that I can no longer drink tea like I used to.  I loved my cups of tea (mostly decaff), but just lately, I haven't really enjoyed it, and sometimes it even makes me feel faintly nauseous after I've drunk it.

Has anyone else had this happen? 

Its so odd

HORMONES!

I have weak black T with 2 sugars.  The 1st one of the morning is lovely, as the day goes by my taste buds alter and by mid-afternoon, tea is foul.  Also when I drink too many or drinking it too quickly, I get very nauseous.

I haven't been able to tolerate coffee for years as it makes me feel really sick.  Hopefully I will be able to continue to drink chocolate!

Have you tried herbal tea? No experience like yours but just wondered if something a bit milder may suit you better. I drink gallons of tea, I don't know what I'd drink without it (not keen on herbal).

I couldn't stomach tea when i was pregnant with both of my DC's. I put it down to hormones, but who knows! I don't drink much now, but coffee on the other hand.....

Thanks for all of your replies ladies.

When I was pregnant, I couldn't have anything with milk in, I used to drink lemon tea and occasionally black coffee. I might cut out dairy products and see if things improve.

Hi birdy   :) ... I'm a bit better with my anxiety, although a doctor once told me that ancpxiety is like a camp fire. Even when the flames are out, it is smouldering hot rocks just under the surface. So even though I feel better, it could be still causing things

Hello ladies.

Jeepers - I wonder if you are reacting to the naturally occuring oestrogens in cows milk? There are plenty of plant based milks available to try as an alternative.

Wishing you well.

Hormones ;-)

I've had this for about 5 years ........... sometimes I can smell stinks in the house but DH doesn't, sometimes food that I have eaten for weeks suddenly 'turns'.
