Why does Starbucks matcha drink upset your stomach?
Green drink-guzzling TikTokers are claiming that their matcha lattes, from Starbucks and other coffee cafes, are making their tummies twist and turn.Madden, who calls herself an avid matcha drinker, insisted it was her first time trying Starbucks’ version of the oat milk iced matcha tea latte — and “instantly” regretted it.
“Halfway through my drink, I started experiencing stomach cramps that became more and more severe,” Madden told the Post. “I felt nauseous and felt severe contractions throughout my whole abdomen.”Starbucks’s green-hued brew is made of typical matcha latte ingredients: milk , a water-soluble powder-blend of green tea and ice, coming in at 200 calories, according to their website. The Post reached out to the coffee chain for comment.
Other TikTokers have shared similar experiences with the trendy beverage though it’s unclear whether they believe their case of bubble gut came down to poor timing, as Madden has hypothesized, or something in the drink itself. “I was close to having to take myself to hospital but the cramps started to ease when I lay on my side and drank hot water and ginger,” said“Matcha contains the nutrients from the entire tea leaf and contains more caffeine and antioxidants than are typically present in green tea,” explains Healthline.
