Has tea ever made you sick? (Somewhat gross)

Klamber26

I've been drinking black, unsweetened tea for years. I love the stuff, especially hot Irish Breakfast Tea in the mornings. I've never had a problem with it before, but in the past few weeks every time I brew hot tea I get very sick and throw it all back up. It's likely that I'm brewing it too strong, but I still find it odd that this would happen. Why tea?

(On a side note--tea is only one of several things that has been making me sick) I also throw back up tuna, boiled egg whites, and apples. These all seem so random to be, but it always happens immediately after I've eaten them. More peculiarly, prior to about a year ago I could eat all of these foods with no problem.

Any ideas? Anyone have similar problems? Can brewing tea too strong be harmful?

**Also add, I have spoken to a doctor about all the foods. He ran tests and said that I'm perfectly healthy and does not know why this happens.

are you having it on an empty stomach? when i have tea without eating anything, i get super nauseous so the point that i felt i was going to throw up. i read somewhere that tea can do this as it is very acidic or basic, can't rem which one. try having it with food and see what happens
