A not so random thing I'm wondering...

Why is that I can drink black coffee first thing in the morning with no (discernable) side effects - but regular tea with milk on an empty stomach gives me the most horrific stomach spasms?

ok dr m. propism at your service ms schuth. we need to discern if it's the milk or the tea that is causing this strange reaction. can you drink black tea in the morning? the reason i ask that is not based on my lengthy medical training, but because i often get stomach spasms (cramps) from milk esp full cream milk.

hmmm interesting...we have painful tea experiences too. black tea at night + 2 rows of dark chocolate = stomach cramps half an hour later.
so we have given it up (the black tea of course ;))
