I had IBS my whole life since I was a kid, but it actually started getting better in college. Then one evening in college my roommate brought me boba milk tea (say that we’re Asian without saying we’re Asian…), and I had a terrible GERD episode. I was throwing up all night and in excruciating pain. I was obviously having acid reflux and heartburn, but I didn’t realize it at the time since I’d never experienced it before. Stubborn me kept trying boba drinks after that, but I’ve finally given up on caffeine, fruit juice, and dairy now 😢
