I feel sick after drinking caffeine or alcohol...why? mssexygirl27: Last year I came on the message board and asked if it's possible to become allergic to something you've been drinking your whole life. I got good answers but now I need to ask another question. I'll make it brief...I've been drinking iced tea ever since I was 7 years old. Always drank it and never had a problem but a few years ago I started noticing that after I drank iced tea I felt nauseous afterwards. At first it was just once or twice a year but then a couple of years ago I noticed it started happening a little more often. And then last year it happened very often. There are days where I have 2-3 glasses of iced tea and I'm fine but then there are days like today, where I drink the same amount and within 4-5 hours I feel very nauseous. Not only does that happen when I drink iced tea but now i have noticed since last June-July that when I drink alcohol I get the same nauseous feeling plus a backache. It feels really weird...almost like a menstrual cramp. That had never happened to me before so I don't understand why I have this side effect after drinking iced tea or alcohol. I don't even drink that much. I usually have one to two drinks. Is it possible that I have become allergic to both things? I know you're not medical doctors but I'd like to get some feedback on this. Does anyone have this happen to them after consuming alcohol? Thank you for taking time to answer (Post deleted by highs ) dcjoe44: Drinking water is good for you. Getting nauseous from drinking tea and alcohol is your body telling you, "Don't do that!!" (Post deleted by highs ) mssexygirl27: Thank you highs. It hasn't happened again but I'm worried it will. I don't have health insurance so it's hard to visit the doctor :-( (Post deleted by highs ) (Post deleted by highs ) Cory Big Heart: mssexygirl, I used to drink tea, soda, etc.. It caused me to have Hiata Hernia and I have to take meds for that for life. I was orderd to stop drinking caffeine. I do not drink alcoholic beverages at all. Water is best. And if you want to purify in your body, drink it with apple cider vinegar each morning. Helps cleans and lose weight. I lost a good 30 plus pounds because of no more soda, no more caffeine, and I drink water often and Apple Cider Vinegar as well. Hope that helps! | Health Chat Room Similar Conversations |
