I was waiting for the courier shop to open this morning so I could send something off and there was a coffee shop right next door......(can you feel the scary music playing in the background????).
I went in and got a vanilla bean SOY latte. I thought it would be safe but as I was drinking it started wondering if I messed up. Vanilla is OK - right?

Vanilla is okay... but coffee in any form really is not. It has an enzyme that is horrible for digestion. So next time you might want to skip it and get a chai tea latte instead.

So I just went on-line to the Second Cup web site and found this description of the vanilla bean latte:
"Vanilla Bean Latte is made with the world's finest Madagascar vanilla beans. Blended with our famous espresso, this latte is creamy and smooth, with the aromatic taste of pure vanilla. If you like vanilla, you'll love our authentic Vanilla Bean Latte."
Guess I MESSED UP! You can't taste any coffee in it at ALL - it's no wonder I'm so jittery now and had a loose BM after having it. LESSON LEARNED: ASK WHAT THE INGREDIENTS ARE BEFORE YOU BUY / CONSUME!!!!!!!!!!

without any black tea in it at all, so it's just herbs/spices. There's a recipe for that in Eating for IBS and also some recipes on the boards.

and a vanilla bean latte - they didn't say nothin' about coffee beans!!!! - that I just jumped at the chance of a latte. I'm not 100% sure whether their type of chai has caffeine of not.
I know I won't make that mistake again though because I was soooooooooooo jittery ALL DAY and still am...the caffeine also gave me headache!!! Well, at least I don't crave coffee after that caffeine anxiety that I can't shake! Hope I sleep tonight
