This afternoon at 2, I felt liked to drink tea and decided to squeeze 1/2 size lemon onto my one mug tea. After 2 hours drinking, I felt my stomach painful. I didn't like the pain and then severe pain followed as if wanting to blow me. I didn't take anything. I just let out the pain which made me weak. After another hour I got LBM. I felt drained. I realized it's the effect of drinking tea mixed with lemon. It's the first time I did it and promised not to do again. Sorry I can't stay here for too long, my body requires me to get rest. I felt tired after getting drained. I didn't take medicine. I am relieved now after all contents of my intestines were removed God . Had you tried what I tried!? Good night from my beloved Philippines. I love you guys. Keep safe. Image is me.

I never had any issue drinking tea with lemon. Did you drink it on an empty stomach?

@louievill , I drink it at 2 in the afternoon. It is my first time doing it. It might be the acid that causes the pain.

@DianneN, it was only half size of the lemon. I am still not okay this morning. I told my students I cannot have virtual meeting with them. It might be next meeting on Thursday for my M/Th classes. I have 4 classes to meet this day, supposed to be first meeting, but cannot make it. They might think I am on Valentine's date hahaha. My stomach troubled me this Valentine's day

Oh no! Sounds like too much acid from the lemon all at once. We drink lemon tea a lot, but I only put in a few squeezes of lemon. Hope you feel better soon!

@cacay1 Oh my goodness, that really did a number on your stomach! Do you think maybe it could have been something else? I hope you do get that rest and feel better. I hate that about stomach aches and bad headaches - you just don't want to do anything. Oh yah, and on Valentine's Day - ahhhhhh!

This is a weird reaction. I think Dianne is right, you added to much lemon.

@cacay1 - It is weird, lemon is often suggested to remedy an upset stomach. May be it was not the tea but something you ate.

@LadyDuck, yes, I agree with that. It might be the acid, I squeezed half size lemon onto my 1small mug tea. I am still not okay this day. I announced to my 4 sections this day that I cannot hold virtual classes supposed to be our first meeting in second semester. I think they are happy hahaha because it's Valentine's day. Many of my students declared they're taken, gosh.

Sorry to hear you had such a bad reaction from the lemon in your tea.What do you sweeten your tea with?. I guess it has a better effect when used in lemonade.

Do you have stomach ulcers? People with ulcers should not consume lemon
