Different point of view about Teh Tarik
Hai,
''Teh Tarik" or pulled tea or commonly known as hot milk tea is one of my favourite. I like the richness flavor and foam from it. It is made from strong black tea and condensed milk influences from India immigrations to Malaysia long time ago. Combined it with roti canai or nasi lemak or kuih muih. There you go! But there is bitter sweet I'm facing about this Teh Tarik to share here...because my blog is my story.
For me, I will experience stomachache for about half of the day. This is not happen now but few years back only that I realize the issues when I'm in my previous hospital. I usually just took it if I really feel want it or if I know I'm not pass stool for three days. This is my booster for that. Hahahah... but the consequences is really bad. I'm not only go to bathroom for two three times but till six or seven times. To stop it, I have to drink more water to keep dehydrated and go to sleep earlier.
My mum and my friend said tea is good for diarrhea, but I'm the opposite from it. More will be out...can't risk myself more. Through article from internet-the combination of black tea and milk will make it more acidic and bloating stomach or gas. And some said, it is because of lactulose intolerance, did I? From my previous allergy test, my chance to milk allergy is one bar detected. So, maybe this lead to gastrointestinal discomfort.
Why I make this story today? Because I just took my Teh Tarik two days ago. Even I know it is hard to believe, and to not consume it. I still enjoy that every year. I know my limit for Teh Tarik and other allergy but still I try my best to appreciate it. Keep it up my life in future!
