Do you feel like having diarrhea after drinking milk tea at the breakfast shop? Nutritionist reveals possible hidden reasons...

Have you ever experienced diarrhea after drinking milk tea? Some netizens discussed that the milk tea in traditional breakfast shops "will make you want to have diarrhea after drinking it", and is basically a "laxative". Some people speculate that this is because the fat content of creamer is high, which is why it is easy to cause diarrhea. Nutritionist Liu Wenzhang pointed out that usually sanitary conditions are the main cause of diarrhea, but some people have poor gastrointestinal function and are very sensitive to fat, and they may also get diarrhea after drinking milk tea!

Creamer has high fat content, which can cause diarrhea in sensitive stomachs

The milk tea in many breakfast shops is made with creamer or fresh cream. What ingredients do these things contain? Nutritionist Liu Wenzhang said that creamer is simply a dry fat powder, often made from hydrogenated coconut oil or palm oil, and spices are often added to enhance the flavor. As for fresh cream, it is extracted from milk and is usually hydrogenated during the production process. Emulsifiers, flavors and other additives may also be added.

It seems that creamer contains a higher amount of fat, and fresh cream also contains milk fat. People who are sensitive to fat may indeed experience gastrointestinal discomfort after drinking milk tea. Nutritionist Liu Wenzhang pointed out that fat is the most difficult to digest among all nutrients. If the digestive and absorption functions of the intestines are not good, diarrhea may occur.

Tea ingredients can stimulate the intestines and may also cause diarrhea

On the other hand, many people do not eat breakfast in the morning and only drink a cup of milk tea to fill their stomach. Even if they are not sensitive to fat, the tannic acid and monosodium glutamate in the tea may stimulate the intestines, causing faster intestinal peristalsis and causing diarrhea. In addition, some people experience a slowdown in intestinal motility, which in turn causes constipation.

Drinking fresh milk tea is healthier and has higher nutritional value

Nutritionist Liu Wenzhang suggests that if you want to drink milk tea, you should add fresh milk and drink fresh milk tea instead. This not only avoids the problem of trans fats in creamer and fresh cream, but also supplements calcium and other nutrients, which is healthier!
