I'm actually physically sick if I drink green tea or black tea without milk.

It is much worse on an empty stomach.

For some reason, in some people, drinking green tea or black tea without milk causes a massive blood sugar drop. The splash of milk a lot of people have in black tea contains just enough sugar to stop this happening.

I only found this out when I had a cup of green tea before a massage appointment because the therapist was running late. I started feeling very ill and nauseus and was very nearly sick, so she insisted I eat a square of chocolate! This instantly took the nausea away. And she explained about the blood sugar crash.

Who knows why - but you are definitely not the only one who gets this!
