Can tea (peppermint tea) cause a nausea, vomiting and foamies?

What is your experience with drinking tea, like peppermint tea, after the first weeks of the gastric sleeve surgery? Can it cause a nausea, vomiting and foamies? What about slimy saliva? Which teas can cause some problems for you?

I was drinking green tea a few days after surgery without issue (the heat was soothing) but we’re all different. Sometimes our healing tummies just don’t like something & will let you know pretty quickly. Take a break from the peppermint tea & see how you go. All because you can’t tolerate it now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to drink it in the future. You could also try an alternative herbal tea & see how you go.

Are you eating/drinking anything else or taking meds before you vomit, have nausea, etc? It could be something else that is upsetting you.

How far out from surgery are you? I had a lot of salvia the first few days because of swelling (carried a vomit bag with me everywhere).

If it persists give your medical team a call.

Good luck.

peppermint can soothe nausea in some people and cause heartburn in others. It could be the culprit - or maybe not. As Arabesque said, maybe lay off it for a few days and see what happens.
